Does anyone know as to why there is ONLY one floor available for parking at the Jayanagar TTMC? The TTMC was constructed with Govt. funds, and should have provided more floors for parking, but instead BMTC seems to want to earn revenue by renting space for offices.

Suggestion:

I have been observing  couple of VM Displays (They call it as variable message display boads) in hosur road, domlur and near mysore bank. Observation done for few weeks without specific study target. Few notes on this are below. Just wanted to know what you guys think.

One of the biggest hits of the first cycle day amongst people was BMTC allowing people to carry cycles to cycle day in their buses. Lots of people liked it. We even communicated the same to BMTC. We had hopes of getting them to repeat it and also extend it to non cycle day days. Instead they pulled out of this committment.

Babus and public sector executives may have to surrender phones and broadband connections from private operators such as Airtel and Vodafone and shift to the networks of state-owned MTNL and BSNL as part of the government's plan to improve the finances of the two PSUs.

The draft of the Bangalore Metropolitan Committee rules dt 7th Nov, 2013 is accessible here.

Cycling and walking are difficult not just because of poor planning. It is also because of the mindset that only those who move in a car have status and road rights. Anyone who walks or cycles is considered poor, wretched and destined to be marginalised, if not obliterated. - - - This is what must change.

I wanted to put my thoughts expressed here out to Bangalore Cycle Day Organizers, before the next Cycle Day, and Mr. Adiga's post in GGI GROUP, gave me a proper opportunity to artculate my thoughts.
