Bus Rapid Transit System (BRTS)
Earlier (1999), a feasibility study for BRTS had identified a promising network of 20 corridors for bus routes comprising twin central rings intersected by 8 radial routes, with assistance from SIDA, Sweden. A pilot project of 12kms from Jayanagar to Shivajinagar with a combination of exclusive lanes with priority of passage at signals & construction of rapid transit lines was planned but never materialized & was abandoned without any attempt. There is no mention of this in the CTTP-2007 report, either. If this had commenced then, we might have seen it progress to some extent & at least, public opinion about the value of such quicker means of public travel would have been recognized. person Naveen's post | Read More |

ಕಳೆದ ವರ್ಷದ ನಾಟಕಗಳು ಎಲ್ಲಾ ಮುಗಿದು ನಮ್ಮ ರಾಜಕಾರಣಿಗಳು ಮನೇಲಿ ಬೆಚ್ಚಗೆ ಕೂತಿರೋದರಿಂದ ಒಂದು ಲಾಭ ಅಂದರೆ, ಸಾರ್ವಜನಿಕ ಕೆಲಸಗಳಿಗೆ ಅಡ್ಡಗಾಲು ಹಾಕುವವರು ಕಮ್ಮಿಯಾಗಿ ಸುಮಾರು ಕೆಲಸಗಳು ಬೇಗ ಬೇಗ ಮುಗೀತಾ ಇವೆ. ಹಾಗೋ ಹೀಗೋ ಬಿಡಿಎ ನವರು ಒಂದಿಷ್ಟು underpassಗಳು ಮಾಡ್ತಾ ಇದಾರೆ, airport ಕೆಲಸ ಚೆನ್ನಾಗಿ ನಡೆದು, ಜಾಸ್ತಿ ಗಲಾಟೆ ಇಲ್ಲದೆ ಮುಗಿದಿದೆ. ಒಟ್ಟಿನಲ್ಲಿ ನಮ್ಮ ನಾಟಕದ ಕಂಪನಿಗಳು ಇಲ್ಲದೇ ಇದ್ದಾಗ ಕೆಲಸಗಳು ಸುಗಮವಾಗಿ ನಡಿತಾ ಇತ್ತು ಅನ್ನೊದಂತೂ ನಿಜ.

BMTC Suvarna peak hour service 04/09/08 05:58 - s_yajamansaw this report on BMTC's long planned peak hour service. http://www.thehindu.com/2008/04/01/stories/2008040159230300.htm It was disappointing to see a good idea being executed badly. (Murali sir was not at all surprised!). If you see the routes almost all of them touch - Kempegowda Bus Stand. I thought that place was crowded as it is without another set of buses attempting to enter them. Have any of you (except Vasanth) been to Subhashnagar bus stand? There is log jam inside the bus stand and buses that are ready to go cannot leave because they are surrounded by other buses. person s_yajaman's post | forum 30 Comments | Read More

"Magic" Mistakes Done .. BBMP must think and step forward 04/08/08 07:08 - PhotoyogiFirst it was Cauvery Jn : With the narrow underpass, buses or slightly larger vehicles "are" passing through it, but the drivers have to slow down to make sure they don't damage the vehicles. There by slowing all the traffic behind. It was after this, even the BBMP seems to agree that it could have been wider. person Photoyogi's post | forum 14 Comments | Read More

I am trying to enlist here some of the best practices that I have seen/heard about City Management. Please feel free to add, edit/dissect as you may please. 1. Locality based Infrastructure Management - A la Delhi model can be adopted by empowering local Residents' associations, where available, to get Infrastructure like Roads, Parks, Water and Waste management managed and maintained on a locality basis and make engineers and other city corporation employees answerable to such associations as well as to their own management. This can lead to quick addressal of grievances and form power centres for effective infra management. In Delhi, residents' associations are headed by retired govt. employees who have plenty of time on their hands and a vision for their locality. person Bengloorappa's post | forum 11 Comments | Read More

Trucks, buses and autos without tail lights 04/07/08 18:25 - pbanavara
A simple tail light can save thousands of mishaps that occur on highways and even on city roads. Yet, most of the transport oriented vehicles including BBMP buses, trucks and autos have no tail lights. It's a horrid sore scene to see the lack of tail lights on almost all of these vehicles. They are a hazard mostly on high speed zones - such as ORR and highways. Obviously 'high speed' is a relative term used in comparison with city roads. person pbanavara's post | forum 2 Comments | Read More
