Is HOHO experiment being dropped???

On my daily commute today, i observed 2 orange line buses being run with route  number as 333P......
Is this the end of HOHO service??  Was it intended by design to fail by using high end volvos?  Why not contine HOHO services with suvarna type of buses??.... I happy that atleast BIG 10 is a succes to a great extent....

Big10 , MBS and Circular Bus Routes for Mysore

Mysore city bus routes are very old fashioned and Mysore Division is not taking any pain to change the routing structure.  For example to get around to neighbouring areas, you do not have direct access to buses. For example Kuvempunagar to Vidyaranyapuram. One has to all the way upto CBS or Siddapajji Sqauare atleast, change the bus and then reach Kuvempunagar which easily takes 1 hour+.

The BBMP's negligence has cost a two-wheeler rider his life. Palike workers left a storm water drain in Fraser Town open after cleaning plastic waste from it on Thursday.

Power distribution to be privatised

Governance

Taking a cue from its counterparts in Delhi and Mumbai, the state government is toying with the idea of handing over distribution of
power to private parties on a franchise basis. Currently, electricity supply companies (escoms like Bescom in Bangalore) do it.

"We are studying the Delhi and Mumbai models where private parties have been given franchises to distribute power. We propose to adopt such a model as part of power sector reforms,'' a senior energy department official said.

The move is seen as a bid to ensure better power supply at the consumer end and better revenue realization. "Once it's implemented, consumers will get uninterrupted power and it'll also lead to quicker repair of faults," the official claimed.

According to sources in the energy sector, the franchisee will purchase power from the state government (Karnataka Power Corporation) and sell it to consumers and will strengthen and maintain the distribution network. This system will not only address consumers' grievances but will also cut down the massive power pilferage, pegged at 22-27%.

Say no to corrupt Ministers

 Corruption has become endemic.

Bt-Brinjal

 I saw this campaign about Bt-Brinjal and thought will ask the opinion of the learned Prajagel. Request you to check out the following links. The campaign talks about Bt-Brinjal and why it should not be allowed to enter India. With the new government swearing in, this would indeed be one of the matters on which a policy decision has to be taken.

Mysterious series of BBMP ads on a DLF complex

Governance

On 26th April, DLF homes published    this   full page ad in Times of India (I expect in other papers also) announcing the launch of their new project "Westend Heights".

A really nice workable idea.

Hi

Check this out: http://beta.fixourcity.org/

I may have shown it to some of you before but that time it was not done for any Indian City.

Now this version is ready for Chennai. I think it is really interesting and if some public agency takes it up, it can have a deep impact.

What do you guys think?
