Not sure if this would be possible in the era Crony Capitalism !Sandeep Shandehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10271772844265880737noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28310409.post-14327121235626609102015-12-11T10:48:41.348+05:302015-12-11T10:48:41.348+05:30Well said Shande..
Yes, Mysore should be spared.
...Well said Shande..<br /><br />Yes, Mysore should be spared.<br />I find BMTC daily pass very effective. Yes, individual tickets are expensive<br />Staying near office can be made affordable if companies can be asked to offer quarters or support high rentals instead of paying for transportationShrinidhi Handehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00875443161762278339noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28310409.post-9454190261210506272015-12-11T10:33:03.253+05:302015-12-11T10:33:03.253+05:30you're spot on Srinidhi. with current populati...you're spot on Srinidhi. with current population growth it's defintely not sustainaible in the city. If it rains 10% of what it was in Chennai, I am sure all tech parks and apartments constructed on lake beds will be flooded with water.<br /><br />-> Moving industries to Tier-2 cities is way to go. Instead of govt, I feel Industry leaders should take initiative. This will automatically various infra issues like Water, Sewage, Garbage and Electricity.<br />-> Let's keep Mysuru out of consideration and retain its charm as peaceful heritage city !<br />-> Public transport will work when it is convinient and cost effective. Why many people are driving to work because it provides them flexibility and most of the cases it works out cheaper than public transport. These days going in ordinary BMTC bus for 2 kms cost around Rs.12 and in volvos it will be > rs. 40 !<br />-> Staying near offices is not affordable to all. I can see all premium housing projects coming up near IT parks which will be owned by some business tycoons, movie star, NRIs etc. and definitely will be unaffordable for majority of IT workforce.<br /><br />Sandeep Shandehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10271772844265880737noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28310409.post-58864832334246039202015-12-11T10:30:55.926+05:302015-12-11T10:30:55.926+05:30Thanks Arun.

No immediate relief in sight.<br /><br />@Satish Kumar- shutting down auto industry will result in much bigger problem- as it creates employment to thousands of people directly and lakhs of people indirectly (suppliers, dealers, mechanics etc)- there will be a huge financial crisis if all factories are to be shut at once. But yes, over years we should reduce no of vehicles slowly.Shrinidhi Handehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00875443161762278339noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28310409.post-53890411332344849702015-12-10T21:10:09.118+05:302015-12-10T21:10:09.118+05:30I think if traffic is a problem, then shut down th...I think if traffic is a problem, then shut down the automobile industry for a few years and make people travel by public transport...Make alternate jobs for the auto sector peopleSatishhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14425859247999840001noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28310409.post-52758938735150297212015-12-10T21:09:39.503+05:302015-12-10T21:09:39.503+05:30I think if traffic is a problem, then shut down th...I think if traffic is a problem, then shut down the automobile industry for a few years and make people travel by public transport...Make alternate jobs for the auto sector peopleSatishhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14425859247999840001noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28310409.post-72678901649047097672015-12-10T14:26:51.347+05:302015-12-10T14:26:51.347+05:30To give you an example of how much the traffic has...To give you an example of how much the traffic has increased - It was taking 1 hr 10 min for me to travel 25 Kms last year. Our office shifted to ORR and now the distance reduced to 13 Kms but the time is still the same.Arun Muthusamyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03753979786042016925noreply@blogger.com
