High beam lights in Vehicles...

There was lot of discussions about the high beam lights in cars, buses and other vehicles. Why this topic is stopped. The police department is not taking this into consideration.Even the people are careless about the high beam lights. Even within the city they use high beams.I dont know what is the use of it.

There are a few of these special bus stands these days that exist right before a flyover or an underpass. Just as the road forks and grade separation begins, you find some crowd.

Their plans for developing satellite towns around Bangalore have a real shot at solving our city's problems by de-congesting it. But there haven't been concrete updates recently.

Urban Rail - The Chennai Experience

Metro RailPublic Transport

Sometime back, I remember reading a report in a magazine (published from either HongKong or Singapore) about the Chennai Suburban Rail (CRS) & the newer MRTS. This report, I think was actually based on a study for economic assistance for expansion of the Chennai MRTS (Phases 2 & 3).
