As of mid Nov, where are we?
- Requested BBMP, BMTC, BDA for data, files from past BRTS-like project proposals etc. Some data obrained, some in the works. Abide folks (RK, Ashwin) are helping here, so is BMTC directly. silkboard's job.
- Need to start on the structure of the demand (aka call to action report). Need to go meet Mr Balachandran again to kick this off. We were supposed to meet him again in mid November. Naveen is in touch.
- Trying to raise funds, have a made a pitch to few people. Jenny/IDS running with this. I will upload the ppt we have used in a meeting.
All others, please wait for the data to be uploaded. Post that, you can start your thinking/analysis etc and you should help capture your ideas in the Project wiki.
Contact me for any technical help (how to edit wiki, how to upload pictures, etc type of thing).
A project meeting is pending. Will organize one soon.
Bottomline, we are on, site users, watch this post for project updates, project members, use this post to share updates.

BPS - Meeting with BMTC next week (tentative)
Tentative right now, but we will meet BMTC/Mr Pasha next week to kick this off with them. Stay tuned for more updates.
Only project members invited to the meeting, have to be focused on the project and subject of BPS/BRTS.
status on data requests
What is with us
This is all I am working on right now. Once we have above, will start the next round of data hunt.
are we meeting soon?
i'm out of town from 23 to 28th... just wondering if we could meet once before that.
still waiting on the BMTC data/meeting
Had written to BMTC bosses asking for a meeting. The mail has their attention, but meeting isn't yet scheduled.
No data obtained yet from BMTC, still in the works, but I am sure we will get it soon. All we have asked for is two things
We hear that perhaps to be ready with with better data on question #2 above (but not just for G1), a traffic survey is on for most Big10 routes.
Before our meeting
Shaheen, I was looking to do at least 1 meeting with BMTC before the first full meeting amongst project members. Just want to see what they are up to, where things stand right now on Bus Priority/BRTS. If they are already on with it, our project's scope will be to push and prod (less technical). But if they are not on it (Bus Priority or BRTS) at all, then we will have more technical work to do (think a technical demand report).
Anyway, let us give it (BMTC wait) just one more week.
updates
BPS project updates
BMTC
BBMP
Traffic Police
We should be able to start some analysis work once data arrives from the 3 key parties above. Now that we need to follow up with multiple agencies, its probably the right time to organize the first BPS project meeting.
SB - Right approach
SB,
Great that you are engaging with the officials to move BPS on old airport rd ahead.
Meeting on 22nd
I would like to join.
