APAD <25/01/2011> Lane driving, but wrong :)
Written By Bheema.Upadhyaya - 29 January, 2011
Traffic Bangalore Transportation APAD DDC lane driving
I am sure everyone sees usually. But wanted to record here. Also tried to track owner using btis.in but none of KA51 registrations are searchable. Location Koramangala. in Kripanidhi College signal. Vehicle is entering from 4th block side. Time approx 8.45am.
No need to mention, there was chaos and traffic jam for 7 mins. Courtesy: KA51M****. You have earned 7 min* 20 vehicles = 240 wasted mins or 4 valueable morning working hours. Are you paying?
Madiwala Police: Are you seeing this? Just watch out there. I am sure 30% all vehicles violating there. If you stop them for offense, you will create a traffic jam due to sheer numbers :)

See how driver has used his skillset to "swalpa adjust maadi"(kannada: ಸ್ವಲ್ಪ ಅಡ್ಜಸ್ಟ್ ಮಾಡಿ) - the tagline of Bangalore) to available space :)
Where there is will there is way . so where is there is <little> space, we squeeze..

The phenomenon shown in KA51 picture can be seen by the railway crossings almost everyday.
Whenever the gate is closed, u see vehicles from bothsides filling the road on either sides.. With little thought that when the gate opens, you need to leave space for vehicles from the other side to go, otherwise, you are hurting urself...

The below is a photo of the christ college bus-stop on the other side of the college.
Here, you see bust-stop is exactly where the auto is standing, that is not going anywhere, its waiting for the passengers. This is not the first kind of scneario, I have been seeing autos standing just at the bus-stops, where ideally a bus should stand. In this picture, also the bus can be seen going to the left to stop after the bus-stop, taking the whole diagonal left to go to the left lane only after the bus-stop.

APAD - Bus in mid of road inspite of a sheltered stop & bus bay

Have a look at this picture, this clearly indicates how bad the scenarios are in Bangalore. Where we have the resources we are not using them.
This picture is near the BEL.
(1) A good bus stop with the shelter is seen, but all empty, no person waiting at the bus-stop, all standing somewhere else.
(2) Bus also not coming till stop, it also stopped where people were standing.
(I have a better example if people still don't want to understand this indiscipline, Does train while coming in the station stops where people are standing or it stops at its designated stops and then people run for their coaches?)
(3) The condition of the footpath, I won't say its great, but its there and good enough for walking.
(4) There is a proper bus-bay also, if the bus driver understands this minimal thing, then he can avoid a lot of traffic pile up behind him during peak hours.
Looking at this, we really need enforcement at strictest level until the poeple start understanding the "right of way" and "to respect others". I know we all are educated, but I think, we deserve it.
Treat this as another APAD thread
