How many vehicles are registered in the city?

1 February 2013 - 7:18pm — MaheshK

There is an article (in the hard copy only) dated 29/1/2013 Metrolife section of Deccan Herald. It has a table showing the total number of vehicles registered in the city for 2012. Here is the breakdown per the article:

2-whllers - 77,37,366

3-wheelers - 28,54,08

4-wheelers - 12,69,430

"Rs 4500 not good enough" - how much is?

Light Rail at grade..too bold?

As we have seen there seems to be some activity around building light rail as a feeder to metro(Bannerghatta rd - Hebbal). For some historic reasons The Bangalore Airport Rail Link (BARL) Ltd is actually working on the DPR for it.
