There has been a long pending demand from the residents of Sanjaynagar, Bhoopasandra, UAS Layout and Nagashettyhalli to connect these areas to Malleshwaram and Yeswantpur via low floor buses. The Hospitals on this route usually serve aged and infirm and need a low floor service

Whitefield TTMC - work in full swing

16 January 2010 - 11:23pm — sanjayv

I passed by the Whitefield TTMC, which is located near the Vaidehi hospital within the EPIP Industrial zone. Construction is ongoing, in full swing. Once again, I cannot help being disappointed at the choice of location of this TTMC. This is in the middle of an Industrial zone. All the residential areas are well removed from here.

The Car. The Bus. The India

Summary: How long a country of billion can sustain with a culture of "My car My way"? Given the situation today, we will not be able to support even a extra car on the roads during peak hour? In this article, I will highlight few of the other problems other than traffic mess to highlight where we are heading.

Need route info before Bus Day

11 January 2010 - 8:06am — silkboard

This is from last weekend. Convinced my family to take a Vajra to go across town from Whitefield to Mahalakshmi Layout. I told them don't worry, there are buses (333Z, 335EP, 335T) that go in that direction. We decided we will leave around 10 AM.

Transforming Urban Transportation

10 January 2010 - 5:30pm — idontspam

Sharing a video from India Economic Summit. Very interesting to note Om Prakash Agarwals introductory comments where he says - We are very good at putting standalone facilities but never have an integrated plan and connection with other related systems. Bangalore has been reliant on a one dimensional Bus system. This cannot scale.

Big10 - 5 things to build upon BMTC's direction-based rework

5 January 2010 - 11:28pm — silkboard

What's your Bangalore Bus dream? I will tell you mine. Take local area bus to get to nearest Large bus stop in your sub-urb or locality. Or take your car to the Park And Ride Plaza in your sub-urb. Then change to a Big10. Dedicated lanes at places make sure you feel good about watching the cars wait in jams and chaos.
