@OfficialBMRCL Frequency on the core section of the Purple line is insanely good this morning! Seems to be like 2 mins or something. How did you guys manage?

@WF_Watcher @NammaBengaluroo @ChristinMP_ @0RRCA @srivasrbmrccoi1 This is a pedestrian crossing traffic light that was installed after BMRCL removed the skywalk here a couple of months ago. The "siren" is a standard feature of Bangalore pedestrian crossing sequences to alert people who are hearing-impaired that it is safe to cross.

@Lolita_TNIE @DKShivakumar @KARailway @srinualavilli @KannadaPrabha @GMSWR @OfficialBMRCL @srivasrbmrccoi1 @siddaramaiah @BlrCityPolice @blrcitytraffic A driver almost hit me a couple of days ago while I was crossing the junction below this, but sure, take your time to "inaugurate" the bridge.

None of which should be the first priority when it has already been connected to a metro line but lacks basic escalator/lift access.

[Nihar @nihart1024]

@ChristinMP_ @OfficialBMRCL Finally! @CMofKarnataka please get this approved asap. As long as it has interchanges at every possible stop, this is a great route.

[Nihar @nihart1024]

@tidas_14 @KridePrm @KfW_FZ_int @EIB @OfficialBMRCL Only one line runs parallel to the metro, and this is very necessary.

As the only east-west line, the purple line is going to be very busy. A parallel suburban line would provide much needed express service and additional capacity.

[Nihar @nihart1024]

@varungrao This is why having a suburban rail route parallel to the purple line is a good thing. And also why we need suburban rail lines going to the suburbs.

@naveenm01 @DKShivakumar @NammaBengaluroo @NammaBNP @srinualavilli @SandeepAnirudha @drashwathcn @RAshokaBJP This is a terrible decision! The only city which doesn't have ugly advertisements and clutter on its streets. Why are @Bbmpcares @DKShivakumar doing things citizens and their elected representatives don't want?

[Nihar @nihart1024]

Incredible news! Parks across the city will now be open all day.

Also, UPI payments are once again working on all AC buses. Awesome!

[Nihar @nihart1024]

@BMTC_BENGALURU Service on the 342 series is so inconsistent 😔

Lots of bunching as well. Please look into this, I feel like many routes never recovered after covid.

[Nihar @nihart1024]

On the other hand, the display was working well! Thanks for fixing this.

[Nihar @nihart1024]

@bengalurutrains Why is everyone talking as if metro competes with buses for passengers? Isn't the aim to get more people on public transport, regardless of mode?

Just shows that we look at the metro as a glitzy infra project rather than one of multiple solutions to moving people efficiently.

[Nihar @nihart1024]

Another day of Cubbon Park's ridiculous rules & security stopping us from playing frisbee. In a PARK.

[Nihar @nihart1024]

@BLRAirport there is barely any signage guiding passengers from T2 to the BMTC bus stops. Please improve this.

[Nihar @nihart1024]

@bengawalk Istg are those like... mannequin people?

[Nihar @nihart1024]

@rkgarg9 @ChristinMP_ @WFRising @BBMPCOMM Finally! A lot of our roads should be narrowed/carriageway made more uniform.
