Madiwala Bus Stop

Infrastructure

 I saw 2 months back, Madiwala police station bus stop has been relocated to madiwala market with a better infrastructure. What I mean is there is a laybye for buses to stop , at least 3 buses at a time. It was also tarred, I guess at least with cost of 10 lakhs. It had also a footpath-cum-waiting place for passengers.

With summer, the usual water & power shortage looms large - & the size of the shortage keeps increasing year after year.

New line - Tumkur to Hindupur

I want to suggest a Railway link between Tumkur with Hindupur, both falling in the south westren Rail zone. This will help everyone in west & southwest regions to reach Puttaparthy which is  a place to go for many people.

How to cross Hosur Road below Elevated Expressway

InfrastructurePedestrian Infrastructure

There is no easy way for people on the ground to cross express way (Hosur Road) by bus and cycle. One needs to walk or traverse a long distance to cross the elevated expressway as there is no footpath. For example if you got to building say across pier 26, u need to cycle or walk to pier 51 and come all the way back.

What can we do about this? are the roads not for common people?

Jigani Bommasandra link road-Desperately seeking attention!!!

Infrastructure

For a city thats industrially growing by leaps and bounds, one of the blossoming hubs of development connected by the Jigani Bommasandra Link Road (that connects Hosur Road to Bommasandra/Jigani/Anekal/Bannerghatta Road) lies in a sad state of neglect. Several top industries, viz. Biocon, HCL, GSK, Sigma, etc. have set up their large units on this road.

Tata magic or winger for last mile connectivity

BusPublic Transport

I'm proposing a few options for last mile connectivity.   If BMTC cannot operate shuttle service, then it makes sense for BMTC to buy the vehicles and ask private players to operate on designated route and frequency.  This is model followed by delhi metro to run its feeder buses.  BMTC needs to innovate in this space try a few models to see if it makes sense.  Since BMT

Volvo's or Marcopolo's?

BusPublic Transport

JnNurm funds are being used and announcements being made by BMTC about launching new busses on Blr roads..everything is being done in a hurry..

They are saying about 200 of Marcopolo's will be ordered..are they worth it? They cost 20-30% less than the Volvo's but have been found lacking in refinements which are basic at that cost!

1. The engines are way too noisy...even on normal roads..the bus struggles to start and passengers in  the bus can hear the loud engine..even people in the traffic arround the bus can hear the loud noise!

2. The AC is not efficient..there are reports of passengers sweating inside the bus!

3.The automatic doors have issues and transmission too

With all the issues, is it really  worth going for these busses..

On the other hand KSRTC low floor bus design has been found commendable by the centre http://www.deccanherald.com/content/52727/centre-commends-ksrtc-bus-design.html

Should we just go for such busses than the Marcopolos?

BMTC Daily Pass - M/F Significance.

BusPublic Transport

I was just wondering what is the significance of marking M/F (Male/Female) in daily passes. Does this help BMTC/public in any way or just an overhead to conductor to mark M/F? Today I have seen an incident conductor did not mark it properly and there was a big fight. Another day I have seen a conductor asked a lady to get down from the bus , as her pass was not marked clearly as female pass.
