About using Transgenders in Traffic Control Program

06/24/11 04:06 - Bheema.Upadhyaya

Today while stopping at a signal in Veerasandra Cross/ Hosur Road Junction a transgender approached me for her(his) due. Usually I wont turn up. Today I wanted to talk to him(her). So I offered Rs.10 as a talking fee :). I casually asked if he(she) would interested to help traffic control. The answer was positive but she(he) was hopeless that anyone would co-operate by seeing them.

Road widening - Futility & Alternatives

Background

BBMP listed 217 roads to be widened. This has caused much worry among citizens as it entails widespread destruction of both greenery & property. Why do so many roads need to be widened? What are the characteristics of congestion on this road? What are the traffic patterns on these roads?

Skywalk near EGL campus on Inner Ring Road Domlur Junction

06/22/11 12:54 - dvsquare

As we have talked a lot about public transport as well as pedestrian friendly infrastructure, many of Prajagalu's must be aware of the fact that thousands of people cross the road in front of EGL campus/DELL office on Inner Ring Road, Domlur. Still there is no safe way and no right of way for the pedestrians.

No bus to majestic on ORR

06/22/11 05:22 - tellvkb

BMTC must put more buses from ORR to Majestic. There are no direct bus from bellandur, ORR, iblur, etc to Majestic. Only one bus -342F from Sarjapur runs which comes like one bus in one hour. Also now BMTC have put only Orange-Marcopolo bus and removed all normal buses.

Extend K3 service to HSR Layout

06/22/11 05:16 - tellvkb

As we all know K3 bus runs from koramangala. This bus can be extended till Parangipalya which is just 3 stops from KML. This way all HSR layout residents will get direct bus to jayanagar, vijayanagar, iskcon,etc places.

So can anyone suggest this to BMTC to extend K3 service till Parangipalya bus stop.
