Going through the minutes of the meeting for "Namma Railu Round Table Event at Cistup, IISc" last August 30, 2010, one get an interesting insight into mind and thinking of Railways. In this case, railways is represented by Bengaluru Division of South Western Railway.

The buzz about buses 

Coinciding with the city's spectacular growth, the erstwhile Bangalore Transport Service (BTS) transformed into the Bangalore Metropolitan Transport Corporation (BMTC) in 1997. Since then, its fleet has increased from about 1,800 to 6,000.

Bellandur lake hinterland development

It is the present owners choice to convert agricultural land in to residential / commercial purposes as it has now come within BBMP area. Some who may not like to convert have that choice too.

Bengaluru Commuter Rail Service can be profitable within a year!

c) Does the RTO rules permit usage of private vehicles for business use?

d) Do the business owner pay taxes?

I appriciate this facility by BTP/B-TRAC. This switch enables pedistrians to intervene automatic signal so that a green signal is forced for road crossing. As this seems relatively new, no one seems using it. Probably some volunteering work needed to educate users. We need more such signals at highways.
