11 May 2011 - 5:56pm — Bheema.Upadhyaya

This is not new thing or research. But I am sure if a trip number is mentioned in display board it will help public. I propose to bmtc to include trip numbers in display boads.

As this seems relatively new, no one seems using it. Probably some volunteering work needed to educate users. We need more such signals at highways.
