Two separate incidents of school buses getting stuck in open/broken/under construction drains in Bengaluru today, third in a week. One from Panathur this morning, the other from Balagere this evening.
Bengaluru: Tender S.U.R.E. roads carry 228% more pedestrians, incl. 117% more women, than regular roads. 90% find them walkable (vs 27%), 83% feel safe (vs 30%). They’re flood-resilient, largely pothole-free & need less maintenance - proof that good road design works: Jana Urban…
Many travel between Yelahanka/north Bengaluru & Whitefield/other city areas, but SWR hasn’t resumed MEMU trains (06535/36, 06537/38, 06532/31) between Chikkaballapur & Cantonment via Byappanahalli, cancelled since Jan' 25. These trains could’ve helped commuters switch to Metro…
Join us for an engaging dialogue on how data can transform India’s urban mobility landscape at #ConnectKaro 2025. 📅 3rd September 2025 🕒 3:15 PM – 5:15 PM 📍 Silver Oak 2, India Habitat Centre, New Delhi Register: bit.ly/4p2QxYw #CK2025 #urbanmobility
I travel by train mostly. The problem of garbage generated in compartments is an orphan. No one, incl @IRCTCofficial has responsibility. Time to make a true Swachh move on this, as we did on train toilets. digitaljourno.wordpress.com/2025/08/30/a-s… @AshwiniVaishnaw @RailMinIndia @SwachSurvekshan
In the fastest growing economy, a powerhouse city like #Bengaluru needs automated pothole filling immediately. Even major roads appear so sad here. Machines like this one seem promising. youtu.be/n0_-wzdhpK8?si… @siddaramaiah @DKShivakumar @BBMPofficial @RahulGandhi @kharge
The protests over the arrest of two Keralite nuns on charges of kidnapping, human trafficking and forced conversion at the Durg Railway station in Chhattisgarh last Friday appeared to gather momentum in #Kerala and #NewDelhi on Monday (July 28, 2025). trib.al/NDyp1ri
Just discovered that Hyderabad Metro doesn't take NCMC card. How wonderful. @revanth_anumula You are allowing a major transport operation to delink from other major cities. @ltmhyd is not forward for sure. @PMOIndia

Vanakkam @ChennaiTraffic, please take action against this arrogant motorcyclist who despite my warning that his traffic violation will report to the police. 1) Excessive honking, 2) Stop line violation, 3) Jumping red signal 🏍️ TN85R2927 📍 Inner ring road, Madipakkam
The footpath width decreases to barely 10 cm. Pedestrians are forced to walk on the carriageway of Chennai's most important arterial road with heavy vehicle traffic. @chennaicorp why can't pedestrians have proper footpaths, why throw us scraps? 📍 Anna salai, TN Dr. MGR uni.
No such luck in Chennai where @cumta & @CMDA_Official maintain silence on their last mile connectivity study! Residential areas are forced to rely on costly autos. Many small bus routes scrapped in favour of autos. @jica_direct_en @giz_gmbh @IndiaUitp hindustantimes.com/cities/delhi-n…
Anyone travelling to North Goa @miagoaairport would know the taxis which cost Rs. 1200-2500 on avg to get anywhere. While there is a little used AC shuttle bus service that gets you close at 1/10th the cost. ℹ️🚍Sharing the latest timetable and fare details in public interest
As per this report, @CumtaOfficial recently released its updated Comprehensive Mobility Plan for Chennai. But that is not found on the websites @CMDA_Official or CUMTA. thehindu.com/news/cities/ch… What is the correct position? @CMOTamilnadu @jica_direct_en @giztransportIN @WorldBank

The arrest of my young colleague Reetam Singh (@SinghReetam) for a perfectly reasonable social media post is worse than atrocious Mr. Chief Minister @himantabiswa m.economictimes.com/news/politics-…
Bengaluru urban crisis can be mitigated with new transport paradigm: expand AC, wifi enabled bus transport dramatically, capex coming from a whole new parking fee system. Could achieve modal shift. Repair roads with local resident/commercial participation. moneycontrol.com/news/india/kar…
