de-cattle-class-ifying bus services

11 November 2011 - 8:10pm — murali772

Recently, I was required to make a few trips to Kochi. The options before me, and what each implied are listed below:

City Buses in PPP mode - Bhubaneswar. Why not Mysore?

3 November 2011 - 11:13pm — silkboard

Did you know that Bhubaneswar operates Buses in PPP model? They may be planning a BRT too in PPP or outsourced model (see another post for details). Any idea on population and size of Bbsr? 9 lakhs, 135 sqkm. Mysooru? Almost the same, close to 10 lakhs, 130 sqkm.

Bhubaneswar going Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) - see RFP

3 November 2011 - 10:29pm — silkboard

They have been talking BRTS for at least 3 years now. Orissa government announced the intent earlier this year in July. This week, BDA (Bhuwaneshwar Development Authority, not our BDA) floated tenders for doing detailed technical project report for BRT for total 49 km long, 6 corridors of BRT.

Bus Breakdowns Plaguing BMTC

26 October 2011 - 12:33pm — sanjayv

My 25 km one way daily commute for the past 10 months has meant covering a swathe of Bangalore's suburuban areas.  A common observation during this time has been seeing 2-3 BMTC buses broken down every day.  This includes buses across the spectrum.  Ordinary buses ranging from old to the relatively new JNNURM ones, Janti Vahanas (trailer buses), Volvos, Marco Polos etc.

Feeder Bus Service - Malleswaram Example

20 October 2011 - 1:52pm — rs

This Feeder Bus service is a very good idea. I hope it is successful. But how about suggesting to BMTC to create a local Feeder bus service in several areas. For example. In Mall-eswaram, there will soon be two huge Malls at both ends - Mantri and Brigade. They could provide a service which goes as follows.

BMTC Buses - volvo vs marcopolo

17 October 2011 - 9:08pm — rashmi

Hi, I catch 201 bus regularly. There are three buses available, one is 201R (normal bmtc bus)  with fare around Rs.12, other one 201R(volvo) with fare Rs.30. I was told that since volvo has A.C. facility and other better facilities, it costs almost double. I dont need an AC bus for a short journey.

Extend K1 and K3 buses

8 September 2011 - 4:25pm — tellvkb

Hi,

 

Can someone take action and suggest this solution to BMTC. EVen after many complaints they are ignorant on this one.

Instead of putting new buses they can just extend K1 and K3 buses from Koramanagala bus stop to HSR CPWD quarters stop.

By just increaseing 3 stops it will benefit 1000s of people plying on these routes.

 

 

Customer facing staff of BMTC

6 September 2011 - 11:38am — Bheema.Upadhyaya
Observation :Now I am using BMTC services almost daily (Mostly route 378) and getting a feel of the BMTC customer facing staff and their attitudes and langauges. I observed at least 25% conductors use rude language by default. What I mean by default is usage of poor language without any provocation by commuter's behavior or age or gender.

Route Maps for BMTC - Phase I Open for discussion

22 August 2011 - 8:12pm — Ritu Shrivastava

Inviting opinions on Phase I - for Bus route Maps project.

What could we set as the criteria for selecting the bus stops for Phase 1 : Approx number of stops as per BMTC are close to 3000, ( might be approx figure)

Few ideas which were discussed on Saturday meeting were :
