Bangalore Needs DIMTS like BIMTS

17 July 2008 - 3:18pm — Vasanth

I was just going through DIMTS website. It is indeed a good move by Delhi Government irrespective of critics. I felt we need a similar organization in Bangalore (BIMTS). You can go through http://www.dimts.in/.

Dear Members,

Bike rentals, a fashion in Paris

16 July 2008 - 2:15pm — GVK

In my schooldays in Coimbatore, Tamilnadu, bicycles were the prime mode of transport for the middle-class. The affluent among my class-mates came to school in own bikes. My parents didn’t get me one till I joined college in New Delhi. By which time (this, in late 50s) bicycling went out of fashion.

With aggressive marketing of Luna, scooty, and other two-wheelers bicycles became a poor man’s vehicle. We, who considered ourselves better-off on the social scale, preferred the rush, long wait and uncertainty of public transport to a bicycle for travelling to work.

BBMP doing bus bays for BMTC - slow progress?

15 July 2008 - 6:09pm — silkboard

Late last year (Nov 2007), we were told read about BMTC requesting BBMP for 140 bus bays. Refer this Nov 07 Hindu article:

The Traffic Engineering Cell (TEC) of the BBMP has ... invited tenders for 100 bus bays out of 140 proposed by the BMTC ... official of the cell told The Hindu that construction was likely to begin in a month and completed in three months.

"Bangalore is New to the Kannada Experience"

15 July 2008 - 5:54pm — tsubba

Girish Karnad on his new play: “Bangalore is new to the Kannada experience, therefore, even-though you will find a rich Kannada tradition in writing, theatre, cinema and poetry until very recently you will find very little writing on Bangalore. Stories on the life in Bangalore — the stories of Jayanagar, RT Nagar and Indranagar are but stories not found on paper. Hence, I decided to base parts of the play in Bangalore to explore the conundrum”.

BIAL Experiences & suggestions for improvements based on those experiences

2 first hand experiences

my in-laws:

Arrived at BIA from Mumbai for the 1st time at BIA. Were very impressed by the new airport. Found the arrivals area very clean, spacious and functional. Were initially skeptical of the distance of the airport from the city. But, were very happy with the bus connectivity provided by BMTC. Took the bus and got off in an hour at Mekhri circle hence did not mind the distance.

Fuel Populism killing air traffic

Fuel populism killing air transportation

India, the world's largest democracy, has a sorry record in sound and bold economic administration. Populist measures abound, and nothing is sacred or immoral in the perpetual quest to obtain and then secure the "gaddi".

Fuel pricing in India is a prime example.
