Half hearted storm water drain cleaning in Bellandur ?

20 June 2009 - 11:49pm — minus43
Recently the BBMP has taken up storm water drain cleaning in preparation for the monsoon. However it seems like they are going a half hearted job. A strech of drain has been cleaned on Bellandur Outer Ring Road and the silt has been left right besides the drain. Over the next week we will track to see if BBMP clears up the dumped silt.

Save Race Course Campaign

Dear All,

As you are aware that the government is keen on shiftng the Bangalore Turf Club from its present location.

The City rulers , over the years , have proved grossly inefficient, by not taking steps to complete the Ring Road which would have absorbed the increase in traffic , especially of trucks and lorries.

Mysore City Transport Website

19 June 2009 - 1:19pm — kaundinya
Similar to BMTC website, I find there is no website of Mysore Transport Department. Ideally we should have a website giving details of timings and route details.

Integrated BMTC Volvo routes map

19 June 2009 - 11:56am — kaundinya

BMTC has approximately 25 volvo routes. An integrated map over the Bangalore city map would be useful. Or even a plain line-sketch drawing of all these integrated routes would be helpful to plan the commute. Is there any such map available on line? The website btis.in has stopped giving information (tracking) on volvo busses.
