No one wants to go in City Buses

10 November 2010 - 8:29am — jakkura

CITY BUSES ARE SO much full and even girls or old people will not get a seat. And who wants to go to ITPL or Electronic city or Yellahanka or Penya how will they go soon at 8 o clock office hours. Only some of the IT sector people have flexible hours, and still IT sector does not have work from home option, very few companies have work from home option.

Just out of curiosity, was looking at home page of Chennai Metro Rail corporation (CMRL) to find the list of awarded tenders. Wanted to see if it is the same set of companies (as in Bangalore) carrying out works there, or if there are any new & different names.

BMTC and monopoly - opening up Local Bus Transport in Bangalore

1 November 2010 - 11:53pm — silkboard

Special and closed situations like Private companies shuttling their employees, and schools hauling in their students are the only exceptions to this monopoly.

Interchange hubs for inter-city travelers in Bangalore?

1 November 2010 - 6:01pm — silkboard

How is Bangalore doing on Interchanges or transit centers? Not to be mixed with the burning need for local transit / bus change centers, where TTMCs have simply not filled the gap, and changing buses is a painfully inconvenient thing in general, the problem area is with long distance public transport. How do people arrive at the city, and then go to their final destination point?

Build TTMC on both side of a road

27 October 2010 - 10:38am — rackstar

Shantinagar TTMC is built on one side of road, so we have 2 junctions on adjacent roads. Though those junctions have only bus traffic, still additional junctions formed. Imagine 2 extra junctions near hebbal junction when hebbal TTMC is built.
