Public transport activists have urged the govt to allocate more funds for buses in the upcoming budget. An independent study by a Bengaluru-based mobility expert has found that assistance provided to RTCs is only a fraction compared to investments in other sectors in the state.

Bangalore hasn’t seen a massive civic movement in the last three years, despite facing host of issues from pothole deaths, floods, missing master plan and the unelected BBMP council. The last big protest was held in 2019 when HDK announced 102-km elevated corridor project.

Terrible messaging. When a city forces pedestrians onto such useless infrastructure, it clearly shows that they are not a priority for the authorities. How about removing FoB’s and replacing them with signalised or Table Top crossings?

The mere act of crossing a road in Bengaluru is fraught with risks! Cities need to invest in creating infrastructure where people can walk safely, and streets are inclusive and accessible to all road users. #RoadSafetyWeek (2/2)

The issue with Bangalore traffic is not because of satellite towns but the interiors. Solution can be having smaller feeder buses/vans from main roads and key areas to all corners and interiors to ensure last mile connectivity. Public transport infrastructure improvement is key.

Sir with all due respect, and God knows i have massive respect for you, please first do 3 things. 1. Take care of the existing roads 2. Expedite metro construction. 3. Introduce efficient metro feeder services. These measures will improve the traffic situation massively.
