Not sure how many spent the time to read this morning's TOI posting on Bangalore 2020... I, for one, am certainly going to spend more time on the details.
Few graphs caught my eye - one was - as obvious, to do with Infrastructure. What really got me started to think was that it seemed that 2 feelings were almost unanimous were that
a) Infrastructure almost being equivalent to roads
b) Transport seemed a subset of the road network problem
Is this an holistic approach ?
Let us try and analyse this - there are 2 / 3 basic issues.
1. Bangalore has zero public transport outside of road transport
2. Bangalore has NEVER been able to develop satellite cities with good connections (for those who want some history - the first I heard of the word was with Yelahanka)
3. Hub and spoke has never taken off
4. There is no concept of HOV (High occupancy vehicle) either with a special lane or privileges
Maybe it is as simple a solution as a hub and spoke with shared links ?
What options do we have ....
