Shortcut routes for Buses

BusPublic Transport

 BMTC buses take the main roads whereas private transport takes the short cut routes wherever possible. This in comparison will increase the travel time of BMTC buses as against private transport making  private transport more attractive.

 

Buses - largest fleet, still crowded?

We often read announcements by the BMTC authorities that Bengaluru bus fleet is the largest in India or Asia. Where are the buses?

State of Pedestrians in Bangalore

InfrastructurePedestrian Infrastructure

Footpaths: This film was made by Samarth Saran, Saumya Tyagi and Bharat Sharma — a team of three people from the Indian Institute of Journalism and New Media, Bangalore who took part in the short-film making competition held at IIM Ahmedabad’s flagship management festival Confluence 2010.

Sky-walk, literally

InfrastructurePedestrian Infrastructure

The BBMP, it would appear, likes to impart literal meaning to the term sky-walk. This set (pictures below), coming up at the High Grounds junction (facing the Sophia school, and behind Basava Bhavan), has a ground clearance enough for a BMTC bus to pass under, even with a full grown adult standing erect on top.

Bangalore to Whitefield on Pushpulls

Commuter RailPublic Transport

Though my office is in Electronic City, for a new project I had to visit our company's branch office in GRTechPark, Whitefield  for 3 days. This building is next to ITPL.  I had to take public transport on all 3 days  to reach the office  in the afternoons while the drop back home would be provided on the company cab as it would be late in the night.

Metro Ph II to HSR..why Monorail?

Metro RailPublic Transport

 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..

BMTC and publishing bus timings

BusPublic Transport

We all know that BMTC can't maintain a simple web site with details about their services and timings.

Is it possible to get an Excel sheet with all their routes and timings in regular intervals?

I remember seeing one before the first Bus Day. After that, I haven't seen an updated one.

Should we offer help in putting one together?
