The Absurdity of Signal Timing at Ejipura Road

6 December 2010 - 6:09am — amu

I travel daily from Koramangala to Domlur via the 100ft road. There is a huge traffic jam at the Ejipura Crossing, any time of the day. I think this traffic jam is not due to the carrying capacity of the roads but the illogical/absurd green light timing.

Recipe for completing public utility projects successfully!

2 December 2010 - 7:32am — kbsyed61

If one looks at BBMP, BMTC, BDA and the works they underatke each one tells a tale of how not to execute the projects in the right manner. Magic boxes, MMTC's, flyovers without service roads all are examples of our state/city bureacrats professionlism and talent. Looking at these projects one would wonder if at all we as Indians do know how to build things right.

Better facilities for private run buses!

2 December 2010 - 2:32am — kbsyed61

There is no denial that private bus service is being operated in Bengaluru and other places without having its own/leased infrastructure like Terminus or bus stops. As noted in the Imran_haq's ordeal in Kalasipalya, in absence of proper infrastructure, these buses are making use of the public spaces like Roads, gullys, playgrounds even making use of no parking spaces.

30 November 2010 - 1:55pm — murali772

The transport department and traffic police are mulling over reforms that could scale up the number of autorickshaws in the city from about 80,000 to 95,000.
