Transport Issues of the Aam Admi

Transport Problems faced by the Mango (aam) Junta:

Not sure how much it will strike a resonance amongst fellow travellers but I have noted down a few basic transport issues that I face while commuting daily from home to office and back in Bangalore previously fondly referred to as the “Garden City” Of India.

Clamp down on Errant Autos:

Instead of behaving like pot belied louts going only after private owned

Cars why cannot the god fearing transport cops go after the autos who ply without meter fares.

Example: There are dedicated auto stands in Electronic City police station one

Near Wipro Bus stop where the autos charge passengers as per their whims and fancies

with the so called police station hardly 1 km away.

One needs to wonder how much hafta is paid by the errant auto drivers to the cops to

the detriment of the amm junta. Yet these so called protectors of justice only flag down 2 wheelers and private owned cars (they do not touch taxis) to have a mid-afternoon "chat" on national issues such as to why the Driving Licence has been issued in a different state, forgetting that we do live in the same country, salute only one flag and travel internationally under only one passport (unless we are Nirav Modi!!)

Get those steel barriers off the road:

For a country obsessed with building and maintain autobahns we sure love those steel barriers to prevent the odd car from driving at mach1 speed.

Apart from slowing down traffic and causing traffic congestion in an already poorly managed traffic system i cannot fathom in my wild imagination as to how those rusty steel barriers can actually help in reducing accidents.

Get Tough on those Tempo Travellers:

The spotless clean no nonsense incorruptible RTO/Government/Police/ needs to  ensure not just having speed governators and in built speed caps, but also need to clamp down on sound pollution especially for those #@$$! Tempo travellers who seem to own the roads of Bangalore.

BMTC bus conductors please CHANGE:

Request to all those BMTC conductors who think that the amm junta traveling in their 1st class transportation owns their own mini RBI approved mint to churn out pocket change, You need to keep change ready, do not expect the customer to give you the change (no this is not tips for the great service that you guys provide to us).

Seems most busses have yet to have the cash less facility of swiping available (who would forsake the opportunity of having his chai gutka funds blocked by a machine which provides cash less facility)

Trust some of the issues highlighted above are acted upon to make the life of the less than ordinary folks who work hard and pay taxes a tad easier.

Jai Hind !
