BMTC and KSRTC Fare hike: Recently These two public transport corporations have increased the fare unreasonably. without considering the corresponding burden on the poor and middle class passengers. My question is why Don't they take a chance to compare the fare what they collect with neighboring states Public Transport Corporations like Tamilandu, where even now by paying five rupees we are able to travel around 10 to 12 kilometers that too without wasting our time for arrival of buses and...

BBMP not bothered about the complaint I filed 20 days ago - They have constructed a sewage canal near our building and last month they removed its cover. Now the canal is completely open and stinks all the time plus we have so many hazardous insects flying across in our houses due to the canal. Life has become hell. This is not expected in a well developed area like vidyaranyapura After lodging a complaint, I havent received a single call from officer but I do get calls from customer care to... Read More

The trees around us are extremely important and have always been necessary for improving the human condition and their very existence. It's not too hard to believe that without trees we humans would not exist on this beautiful planet. So, trees are essential to life as we know it and are the ground troops making up an environmental frontline. Our existing forests and the trees we plant work in tandem to make a better and cleaner world. Then why do we use them as garbage stands as can... Read More

Monthly we are spending huge amount on tanker, where all residents are depending on tanker. Borewells got dried up of almost all resident's. When it comes to development, it... Read More
Why are BMTC conductors not accepting KSRTC m-tickets?
Hi all, KSRTC, for passengers convenience has a system like in place. Passengers can travel in BMTC(only ordinary) for free before two hours of travel time if they have reserved a ticket. Passengers have to produce the reserved ticket to the BMTC conductor in order to get the free ride. KSRTC started one more great initiative, an environmental friendly one- mobile ticket(m-ticket).

Saving the tin factory lake
I wanted to post about 2 lakes that I pass by on my way to office. One is Horamavu-Agara lake, near Banaswadi. The lake is huge. But sadly it is dead now without a single drop of water in it. Another is Tin factory lake which is currently undergoing a slow and painful death. I still remember the days, when I used to love watching Tin factory lake. You could see tortoises, lots of birds. It was such a peaceful and serene sight. But now there is nothing. Just filled with hyacinths. I fear if... Read More

The window for issue of forms are at one end of the narrow unprotected platform of the building. The window for the issue of receipts (which were not given immediately on scrutiny of filled forms this time) is accessed by passing... Read More
