#PublicTransportIndianCities Have you seen this poster "Metro In India?" It went viral on WhatsApp last few days. It is useful but needs lot more context to understand better. For example, how many people use Metro? How many people use bus in these cities? How much was spent

#BengaluruUrbanDesignCell From footpaths to streets, shoulder drains to rajakaluves, bus stops and metro stations, junctions and flyovers, urban infrastructure needs better design. If you are an urban designer or planner or a transport planner, here’s a great opportunity to

Crazy how Bengaluru metro simply does not have these line diagrams on their platforms, it’s the most useful thing and should be mandatory

Too early to assess, but I noticed a sense of healthy competition. Decentralization makes life easier for everyone, including officials at all levels. Good to see Commissioners, Additional Commissioners, Joint Commissioners, Chief Engineers own the city corporations.
The Decision to form GBA with 5 City Corporations has been a great decision by the #Karnataka Government, with a visible results on ground in Just 2 months 👏 @GBAChiefComm & 5 Zonal Commissioners are literally on a power action mode ! ■ Frequent Citizen Interactions ■

.@blrcitytraffic With great difficulty, we get good footpaths in our city. A few entitled citizens decide we don’t deserve them and turn them into their personal expressways! Before the footpaths are completed there’ll be no pavers left on Jayamahal Main Road @Jointcptraffic

In October 2025, on average 514 new cars were sold daily in Bengaluru. DAILY. Ever wondered where all these cars find parking? On the roads. On residential streets. On both sides of service road next to tech parks on the ORR. Couldn’t help but notice parked vehicles taking up

Manufacturing activity in India takes place in two broad ways: organised manufacturing that happens in factories, and unorganised manufacturing which is typically at a small scale and family-run. There are 20 million unorganised manufacturing establishments in India as of 2024.

Bengaluru isn’t just about traffic updates the city is blooming too! 🌸✨ A rare chance to enjoy fresh air and clean mornings, something many cities are missing right now. Cubbon Park has opened a Flower Show for the next 11 days, and you may not have seen something this

Transport Department talking about air quality! This is a first, AFAIK?
Bengaluru’s air quality is worsening on high-traffic days, with AQI levels crossing 200 — that’s not fog, it’s pollution. Smoke from vehicles is putting everyone’s breathing at risk. 🌬️ Turn off your engine at traffic signals 🌱 Do your part for cleaner air #BengaluruAQI
