@IITianConfess @DULTBangalore @BDAOfficialGok @ChristinMP_ @GBA_office @NammaBengaluroo @NammaBNP @Tejasvi_Surya @siddaramaiah @RahulGandhi @WFRising @CivicOp_india Well BMLTA need not feel constrained by the Government. The Act is in force, the Secretariat is functioning and it has to do is to tell @BDAOfficialGok : Do you proceed without BMLTA Section 19 scrutiny & approval. That's how laws are enforced.

@solidview @DULTBangalore @BDAOfficialGok @ChristinMP_ @GBA_office @NammaBengaluroo @NammaBNP @Tejasvi_Surya @siddaramaiah @RahulGandhi @WFRising @CivicOp_india 100%. Atleast state govt could claim earlier that BMLTA members are not notified, but now even that is not the case. By not notifying final rules, state govt is deliberately tieing hands of the BMLTA.

🚨 Has BMLTA scrutinized and accorded Section 19 approval to the proposed short tunnel road? That is the simple question you need to answer @DULTBangalore Bengaluru citizens cannot be taken for a ride anymore with your on & off BMLTA hat. A simple Yes or No answer suffices.

@IITianConfess @DULTBangalore @BDAOfficialGok @ChristinMP_ @GBA_office @NammaBengaluroo @NammaBNP @Tejasvi_Surya @siddaramaiah @RahulGandhi @WFRising @CivicOp_india Section 19 approval is mandatory.

@solidview @DULTBangalore @BDAOfficialGok @ChristinMP_ @GBA_office @NammaBengaluroo @NammaBNP @Tejasvi_Surya @siddaramaiah @RahulGandhi @WFRising @CivicOp_india BMLTA members are notified, and act is notified since 2023. So as per law, are rules mandatory for them to function, or can they act without it too.

Bengaluru, Know this equivalence. We know the double decker moved traffic from Silk Board to Ragi Gudda. Similarly, Hebbal short tunnel will move congestion to Mekhri Circle. @BDAOfficialGok - If you have 1200 crs to spare please spend it on something useful & not this🙏🏽

A day of this in Bengaluru and most of the traffic problems will get solved. We are the IT capital and should be easy to implement this quickly. What say, Bengaluru?

@NammaBNP @OfficialBMRCL And don't forget we are paying artificially inflated fares derived from formula misapplication. @Secretary_MoHUA - Bengaluru continues to await the fare correction.

BMRCL has chosen the most symbolic date in the calendar as the new deadline for the Pink Line that is August 15th. Independence Day. 6 years of delays. Missed deadlines. And citizens quietly paying through fare hikes for a metro line that still doesn't run. @OfficialBMRCL May was the promise. August 15th is the new promise. We've heard this before. And we'll believe it when we see it. #NammaMetro #BMRCL #PinkLine #NammaBengaluru

It's shameful, Bengaluru. Short tunnel justification is Long tunnel's 10 yrs build time. Long tunnel justification is the short tunnel's insufficiency. i.e. Short tunnel is short term Long tunnel is long term. 🤦🏽 Real reason: Grab Veterinary College land😡 RIP Red Line😥

@streetfrontier Flyovers as a contract generating service.

Flyover as a subscription service.

Has the city agencies gone mad? B-SMILE is proposing something else 👇🏽

This project doesn't' have BMLTA Section 19 approval. Basically illegal. Spending crores to shift congestion downstream to justify more flyovers ad infinitum isn't planning. See below illustration of traffic pile up when there is a capacity mismatch. Does anybody care though?

Oh how I wish we had an empowered Mayor for Bengaluru too who could do similar things for public transport. Let's seek accountability and make public transport standards of Bengaluru at par with the the best world cities.

Plagiarism & shoddy work is the basis for the car-centric BBMP projects. Optimists will call it improvement [Ragi Gudda double-decker did not have a DPR] Pessimists will just sigh. But let's become pragmatic & seek accountability, Bengaluru. #Speakup youtube.com/shorts/_DYr8FL…

Correct the fares NOW @OfficialBMRCL Do not futilely defend misapplication of the formula. Citizens have seen through it. @Secretary_MoHUA - As BMRCL Chairman pls instruct the Board to do the right thing. @siddaramaiah @mlkhattar - Fare correction is a moral imperative 🙏🏼

Indeed the joke is on us. @RahulGandhi - Karnataka gave Congress a majority with the expectation of good governance. Bengaluru civic elections delay mockingly asks us: What can you do? We will answer this in the elections. Ballot paper or EVMs won't make a difference too.

These rules will have zero impact on ground as it lacks statutory backing. Why is there hesitancy in legislating the Karnataka Active Mobility Bill? @siddaramaiah - Please table it in the monsoon session of the Assembly. @RahulGandhi

@JoshiPralhad @dkhos @jagograhakjago Sir, "Tips before the trip" are still being sought by all the digital fare brokers despite the guidelines that were introduced at your request. They continue to operate with impunity & are gaming us. Consumers are the sufferers between poor regulations and greedy businesses.

Today morning, Uber CEO Mr. @dkhos met me at Krishi Bhawan. Discussions related to Uber’s operations in the country and the future roadmap was held. Senior officials from @jagograhakjago were also present. At the onset, It was strongly insisted that Uber India, create an ecosystem where their existing fleet would transition towards EV while creating a support system for the partners & drivers who are currently on board. It was also communicated that, self auditing report on the existence of dark patterns and action taken report on such patterns need to be submitted at the earliest. As a Convergence Partner, Uber was advised to publish details of its Grievance Redressal Officer at the earliest and work towards timely resolution of complaints received on the NCH portal. While the Government of India continues to promote ease of doing business, safeguarding consumer interests remains equally important.

For the double-decker car brains of Bengaluru it always seems like One More Flyover does it. Isn't it? Remember both Phase 3 and 3a metro delays are solely due to car-brained band aid planning.

Something on Head's head !

While the world embraces sustainable mobility, our cities are still stuck in feeding the car. Why are we always behind India ?

@SurabhiHodigere Absolutely. Garbage in, Garbage out

A digital transformation class I took started with quote. When you digitize bad government, you get digitized bad governance. I think of it oh-so-often.
