BIAS Routes and Frequency - suggestions

Public Transport

The BIAS services (Vaayu Vajras) are Bleeding! Only 1 out of every 4 busses on route Nos. 3 & 4 are even close to half full. I have seen a lot of the busses running almost empty. The return journeys seem to be faring better.

The reasons for this could be the following

Noise Pollution

Noise the silent killer and stress booster should be controlled. The awareness about honking/ horning and its effect on us should be made to our urban masses. Can we start a campaign that one day in a week say Wednesday is a silent day? Recently there was 'a' silent day in Mumbai and they have not pursued it further. We can make bumper stickers stating ' I don't honk on Wednesday'. I am adding my friend's views about this issue.

I was just seeing the frequency of trains from Mysore towards Bangalore as well as towards Whitefield from Bangalore station during morning hours. There seems to be very little traffic of trains. First train from Mysore towards Bangalore reaches Kengeri at 9:00 AM. Upto 9 AM track is completely free from Kengeri to Bangalore.

BANGALORE: The latest survey conducted by the Airports Authority of India (AAI), on the passenger handling capacity of the two airports in Bangalore, indicates that there is just a minor difference in the capacities of the two airports, contrasting BIAL's claims.

Lodging and Boarding in Bangalore - Enough and Reasonable?

7 July 2008 - 8:51pm — kbsyed61

It seems we have a 'Nack' of overlooking some imporatant needs of the city. We try to overlook the need and at times go to an extent that we rubbishes the need. This needs suddenly erupts like a volcano and then suddenly we wake up from our deep sleeps and myopic urges, we start shouting from roof tops about the volcanoes. Then we start blaming everybody except ourselves. In order to beat the others in this blaming game we give ourselves tags like experts and what not.

Driver Education DVD now available

7 July 2008 - 1:48pm — asj

Dear all,

Some of you are aware that I have produced 17 driver education videos about a year ago. All videos are posted on Praja and can be seen online. The videos now have over 100,000 online views and are available on a DVD. Every week I get requests for the videos to be supplied as a DVD. Given that I am currently working abroad, it became very difficult to sustain sending out DVDs (over a hundred were sent out free).
