Re: Public transport comulsory
Post: The major problem faced with public transport is connectivity. If we have a transport system that offers an alomost equivalent comfort as a two-wheler of a four-wheeler, then I'm sure most of the citizens will leave their cars and bikes back home. One option is to have mini-buses operating on feeder routes at an interval of 5-10 minutes. These buses can operate point-to-point service of not more than 5 kms. The buses can drop off passengers at the nearest bus terminal of a particular area such as Domlur, Jeevan Bima Nagar, Jaynagar etc. Passengers can then take the regular busese to their resoective destinations. This way we can avoid large buses operating on over-congested roads. This system can be tried in the following route. Malleshpalya - Jeevan Bima Nagar Mini-buses can operate between the two points at a frequency of 5-10 minutes. Passengers can get off at Jeevan Bima Nagar Bus terminus and take the regular buses for their destinations. The existing buses operating to Malleshpalya can be diverted to Bima Nagar. Also a ring route can be operated from BEML Main gate covering GM Palya, Malleshpalya, Kaggadaspura and CV Raman Nagar. A similar ring route can be operated from BEML Main gate, GM Palya, Malleshpalya, Vignan Nagar, Basavanagar, HAL Police Station and Vimanapura. Another service can be started between HAL Old Airport to junction of Old Madras Road through Suranjan Das Road. This will discourage the existing share autos and other vehicles operating illegally. This can be replicated in other parts of Bangalore.
