BMTC Strike - what have we learnt?

13 September 2012 - 11:45am — idontspam

Public Transport in Bangalore today means Bus which is solely run by BMTC. During business as usual this looks good but its in crisis situations like todays strike that the deficit of not investing in multiple modes or using modern methodologies of running operations can hurt.

The 'Last Mile' myth

26 June 2011 - 2:49pm — Naveen

I think the many repeated questions raised about 'Last Mile Connectivity' is more of a creation by the very large affluent private vehicle loving public in this city that loathes walking even short distances to & from bus stops, rather than reality.

Concession in NAMMA METRO for Students community ???

10 February 2011 - 1:17pm — Sanjeev

Any plan exists in NAMMA METRO to povide concession in ticket for Students & Senior citizens. As BMTC has this facility & encourages the public to use PT.

Take the case of Kolkotta METRO, 60% concession is offered for students. I hope BMRC also comes out similar facility for students community.

Metro Ph II to HSR..why Monorail?

26 November 2010 - 1:49pm — srinidhi

So the routes, at least the end points, are finally out from the DPR for PH II. I still dont understand what makes the DMRCL a better authority to develop these reports, no Idea of what traffic studies were done and what surveys were done..never heard of any..thought these are the basic inputs for putting out a plan report..
