05/27/09 05:07 - kiran8

Another goof up by the BBMP is the placing of sped breakers which are erratic and they come in all sizes and shapes causing misery to a driver and has been the cause of many accidents..

But there is some hope for the citizens of Bengaluru...

BIAL - One year in operations

05/25/09 11:56 - kbsyed61

On May 22, BIAL completed first year of its operation. Major news papers have reported on BIAL's 1st anniversary. Going by these news reports, so far BIAL's performance isa mix bag of both positives and negatives. The silver lining is the operators have shown willingness to work with their customers including Industries & commerce.

Is the state lax about environment protection?

05/25/09 11:09 - murali772

Even as he cuts the red ribbon for the controversial Gundia power project on Saturday, chief minister B S Yeddyurappa will be violating the law. The project, taken up by the Karnataka Power Corporation Limited (KPCL) to augment power generation in the state, is yet to get both forest and environmental clearance from the Centre.

Big10 , MBS and Circular Bus Routes for Mysore

05/24/09 09:29 - Vasanth

Mysore city bus routes are very old fashioned and Mysore Division is not taking any pain to change the routing structure.  For example to get around to neighbouring areas, you do not have direct access to buses. For example Kuvempunagar to Vidyaranyapuram. One has to all the way upto CBS or Siddapajji Sqauare atleast, change the bus and then reach Kuvempunagar which easily takes 1 hour+.
