#BusKiBaat 2.0 featured in @Divya_Bhaskar organized by @TULfoundation & @urbanvoicesin We brought people together in an interactive way to experience AMTS & BRTS buses with lots of fun over quizzes on cities & public transport infra ! Thanks @YashPatwardhan3 for highlighting this.

TUL Foundation initiated a #Walking Audit on April 29, 2023, uncovering the dilapidated state of footpaths in #Ahmedabad's University area. The audit aims to assist city authorities to improve walk-ability in the city. Detailed analysis to follow soon! #RoadSafety #Righttowalk

What can cities do to prevent loss of valuable lives? What can we, as citizens, do to enable safe roads for kids? @AhmedabadPolice @AMCommissioner @AmdavadAMC Continued in comments... #roadsafety #roadsafetyweek #righttowalk #RTW #SadakSurakshaJeevanRaksha #Ahmedabad #schools

Help us decide on the name for the campaign by selecting the best one you like:

This is a call for one and all, who fear walking on streets, hope to make them safer, and is willing to change the existing conditions to participate in this campaign for pedestrian rights. (2/3)

Pedestrians fall inferior in the priority pyramid of street users. This attitude reflects in our urban laws & regulations wherein pedestrians are rarely mentioned, let alone protected. It is high time we, the pedestrians, raise our voices to demand the priority we deserve. (1/3)

"If we want to create streets that accommodate active and sustainable mobility, in many cases it means that we need to remove parking. Tough task, but an important one." @humankindcity's @LiorSteinberg finds five ways to replace parking spaces in cities. marketplace.eiturbanmobility.eu/insights/five-…

We, the pedestrians, constantly adjust to different moods of the traffic. We walk against its flow, we silently meander through the vehicular chaos to cross the street. And yet, here we are, getting ourselves killed, three times a week! #Roadsafety @timesofindia @ahmedabadmirror

Do we want to adjust and keep making way for vehicles to drive faster and crash into us more often? Or do we want to make way for ourselves? #theurbanlabfoundation #theurbanlab #pedestrians #pedestriansafety #mobility #safety #campaign #didyouknow #road @abhijitlokre @shelly_kul

One of the cleanest rivers in the world. It is in India. River Umngot, 100 Kms from Shillong, in Meghalaya state. It seems as if the boat is in air; water is so clean and transparent. Wish all our rivers were as clean. Hats off to the people of Meghalaya.

This happens in every city. There is only reason for this: the “leaders” that make these decisions cannot imagine themselves or their family in a bus. Policy making in AC rooms results in bus being compromised in every city #BusIsTheUndisputedKingOfCity

You can never grow in your 'comfort zone'. Move to the 'growth zone'. Cross the dark 'Fear Zone'. Do something that you wanted to do but always hesitated. Do it TODAY! Dare to dream!👍 (Image credit: Dr. Pandi Durai, IFS)

We often criticise government for lack of planning and coordination. For valid reasons. But here is a case where Government is being proactive & progressive. Makes me happy! This is a “guidance” to the ORR IT companies that employ lakhs but also cause congestion on 6 lanes. (1/n)

Bus users are not on social media. Not in proportion. They are seen as second class citizens by entitled citizens that think occupying public space for driving & parking is their birth right. But they also want traffic problem to go away! Public transport is for “others”
