BETL pics - ready by Sep 2008?

SB - quite right. I think this was not the right thing to have done. In Phase-2, CTTP has recommended a Metro line from EC to Yelahanka - let's hope they take it up instead of putting up a third tier of road/s along Hosur road, because that's what they have brought upon themselves.

What this is going to do is choke up SB junction & then, they will again have to plan an elevated road from SB to Shoolay, & follow that with another from SB to Jayadeva, maybe another from SB to Iblur on Sarjapur road, too - there is simply no end to this road construction nonsense.

Skybus, an indigenous technology would have easily done the trick with a little lesser cost than BETL.  Check out http://www.atrilabs.com

What is more the benefits are substantial if you consider that Skybus has near ZERO EMISSIONS and has much greater capacity and hence much lesser user cost.

BETL is a waste and will only compound the problem by encouraging people to use their cars instead of rail trasport. 

PhotoYogi - that's a good idea.

In many parts of US, (California, for example, throughways leading up to LA from the south) have center lanes reserved for cars with family /4 occupants only, but I like your idea better - want to use up road space, pay according to how much you consume !

There is nearly 3-4 pedestrian crossing and 4-5  crossings.

There is enough space  below the bridge for the buses provided they maintain lane discipline. I feel in 1 or 2 places we can have underpass on both sides of the road especially near bommasandra which is usually jammed in peak hours... and there shpuld be strict speed limits and lane discipline enforced.....
