4 March Bus Day - New corridors announced

Got this email from BMTC late last week. Most significant part in there is

  1. Confirmation that next Bus Day is on for March 4th
  2. 5 corridors for next Bus Day: Old Madras Road (new), Bannerghatta Road (new), Old Airport Road, Hosur Road, Sarjapura Road (new).

New Corridor means extra buses, more cops at key points on the corridors to manage bus traffic, and hopefuly, some local shuttles around these corridors on the day

Here is the note received from BMTC:

New line - Tumkur to Hindupur

I want to suggest a Railway link between Tumkur with Hindupur, both falling in the south westren Rail zone. This will help everyone in west & southwest regions to reach Puttaparthy which is  a place to go for many people.

How to cross Hosur Road below Elevated Expressway

There is no easy way for people on the ground to cross express way (Hosur Road) by bus and cycle. One needs to walk or traverse a long distance to cross the elevated expressway as there is no footpath. For example if you got to building say across pier 26, u need to cycle or walk to pier 51 and come all the way back.

What can we do about this? are the roads not for common people?

Jigani Bommasandra link road-Desperately seeking attention!!!

For a city thats industrially growing by leaps and bounds, one of the blossoming hubs of development connected by the Jigani Bommasandra Link Road (that connects Hosur Road to Bommasandra/Jigani/Anekal/Bannerghatta Road) lies in a sad state of neglect. Several top industries, viz. Biocon, HCL, GSK, Sigma, etc. have set up their large units on this road.

Solution for a decentralized Municipal Waste Management - How & Why?

I need some help with respect to mechanical engineering to improve the composter efficiency.

Does anyone in the group know about any fudning by Govt or other grants for such a project?
