Public Transport vs Private Cars
Post: ABIDe has identified public transport as the most important tool in reducing traffic congestion in Bangalore. Given the ground realities, Bus based public transport system is being promoted with a corridor approach. 10 major arterial roads (Big-10) have been identified as high density traffic corridors which will be made junction/signal free with dedicated Bus service, both A/C and non-A/C buses, named as Big-10 service. This is already implemented on Hosur Road (Vellara Jn - Electronic City) and HAL Airport Road (Trinity Jn - Whitefield-Hope Farm jn). This is proving tobe extremely popoular. This service connects with CBD HoHo Service (Kendra Sarige) at Vellara Jn and Trinity Jn respectively. This makes is extremely convenient for anyone living and commuting on these routes to use this Big-10 Service, without the need to take their private vehicles to work or shop. I have used these services and they are extremely convenient and efficient. We hope that many more buses are added on all Big-10 routes and the concept is promoted in media and privately. RK
