BMTC meeting

pathykv - 21 Dec 2010 - 7:46am

I would like the following discussed-

1. During the Public Transpoprt meeting convened by Volvo recently Mr. Pasha, MD- BMTC replied to my query that meetings of commuters representatives are being held. But on further enquiry it is not clear when these are held. We may request BMTC to involve praja.in in these meetings.

2. Feeder services and last mile connectivity- BMTC have again announced such services to Metro stations. However there are still no proper feeder services to the main Railway stations. They may be asked to start these services soon.

K.V.Pathy

will not cover these

Pathy sir, this meeting is only to talk Bus Priority System / BRTS with BMTC. Please save those questions for separate interactions with BMTC.

Any BPS/BRTS specific questions anyone?

Will make it

Naveen - 21 Dec 2010 - 9:07am

SB - will make it 3PM /22nd.

My questions

idontspam - 21 Dec 2010 - 9:53am

Conflicts with a meeting in the office, cant make it, so here goes

Is there a DPR/Detailed plan for the ORR BRTS they can share with us? If not who is advising them on the technical details?
What is the probable start of implementation considering the state of the ORR stretch currently?
What is their view on signal priority for Big 10 routes?
Who in BBMP do they work with for making the appropriate changes on the roads & what is the process?

Had a fantastic meeting

silkboard - 22 Dec 2010 - 3:17pm

Meeting was advanced to 1 PM, so only Naveen and myself could adjust our schedules and go. But had a fantastic meeting with BMTC. Short on time rt now, will put meeting notes along with Naveen in a separate project blog.
