Meeting with Mr Tripathy, BMTC - Summary

05/22/08 19:29 - silkboard

So it did happen. Naveen, Murali sir, Vasanth, Praveen, myself got 30 minutes of Mr Tripathy's time in his office. After introducing Praja etc, we were planning to present our (rather, Naveen's) slides on single dedicated lane based BRTS idea. But Mr Tripathy said he was short on time, and would look at it later at leisure. However, he warned us that he just can't do BRTS by himself. He is only a bus operator, and owns only the rolling stock. We should go to other bodies (BBMP/BDA/Traffic police to get non-rolling stock infrastructure for BRTS) to push for it. He then updated us on the BRTS-on-ORR project a bit. He seemed well versed with BRTS, its need and advantages, Bogota etc. Though, his take on the key reason for the success of buses at Bogota is - the interesting ways in that city ran campaigns to educate citizens on road discipline.

Precarious supply-side scenario

05/22/08 14:30 - murali772

With the oil and gas prices having risen to exorbitant levels, and thermal power generation posing serious challenges with regard to issues like carbon emission, technologies which were earlier considered uneconomical, are beginning to be re-visited. One such possibilty is discussed here. India is perhaps better placed to take it forward faster.
