Our city seems to be moving in the right direction finally by looking at “demand” side and focusing on how to reduce personal vehicles. Though many have been crying hoarse for years, we never saw “Paid Parking” occupying headlines! Never saw demands made on “Corporates”
The
@blrcitytraffic police asking companies to discourage personal vehicle usage by imposing parking charges and asking
@BMTC_BENGALURU to offer bus services to tech parks.
@0RRCA asks for better bus frequency (fair demand if you want more to use bus) -
I think all companies need to start paid parking simultaneously so it doesn’t become a competitive issue and everyone comes together for common public good. It is estimated that companies pay ₹5000 for a parking spot to the builder - this amount can go the employees towards bus and metro as a benefit instead.
It must be highlighted that it takes 30 minutes or more for car users to get out of their parking lots in tech parks onto the ORR. There is no bigger proof needed where traffic congestion is coming from and what we should do as responsible citizens.
Kudos to
@Jointcptraffic @blrcitytraffic for their proactive approach and promoting bus and shared mobility. Hope they bat for reviving bus lane soon too :)
