I'm willing to pay *even* more taxes, if:
1. Govt spends 6% of GDP on Education
2. Govt does NOT use public funds for Advertising
3. Ministers/MPs/MLAs use bus/metro once a week
4. MLAs inspect govt schools/hospitals once a month
5. MPs travel by train once a month in General

Absolutely in poor taste of L&T to claim metro ridership is lower due to free bus scheme without any evidence.
Either show proof from scientific study or apologise & withdraw this silly statement.
In Bengaluru, both bus & metro ridership are going up after Shakti.
🚨 L&T is planning to sell Hyderabad Metro post 2026; free bus rides have made ridership 'less interesting', says L&T chairman.

Govt is giving free education for everyone. Huge freebie!
So private schools are in losses. They will soon shutdown. Right?
Metro & bus have different commuters. Both have lot of scope to grow in every city as🇮🇳 grows.
L&T wants to exit for other reasons & making excuses
Why Freebies Are Harmful❓
L&T plans to exit Hyderabad Metro post 2026.
Hyderabad Metro reports losses in Q4FY24, cites Mahalakshmi scheme impact.
The Congress govt scheme, which offers free bus entitlement to ladies, has impacted the metro's average ridership.

On a recent visit to Hyderabad, spotted this city bus.
I thought most cities now have buses with hydraulic doors as that’s the norm in Bengaluru, but guess not!
Yet another proof that bus doesn’t get the attention (budget) it deserves, though it is the lifeline for millions

Do you live near a Metro station in Bengaluru?
Do you see sign boards like this in your area?
Do you think it will help to have more such boards to get people to use metro?
Please respond with your thoughts
These signs can be seen on Vasantapura Rd off Kanakapura Rd

Privilege is having a pulse oximeter.
Privilege is to be aware that there is such a thing.
Don't be shy. Tell a few people. Get them one.
It can save lives.
You have to trust me on this one.

Since when do we welcome guests like this? I guess started during G20?
Whoever is making these decisions, Please stop. This is disgusting & doesn’t promote our culture in any way but does the exact opposite.

one of the first things you notice after moving to Bengaluru - the morning calls of "soppu!!" from vendors walking the streets with their bicycles
soppu is an integral part of our city like filter kaapi but doesn't get twitter fame :)

Next year we will drop even further.
I know this may be hard to believe :) but Bengaluru is fighting back the traffic congestion in many ways.
Metro & Bus are leading the way.
With yellow line, we will see more adoption of public transport.

Who manages Chinnaswamy Stadium?
KSCA?
Why are you not harvesting rain water within the stadium & letting it go waste and worse, flood the roads?
Please fix it!

I’m tired of these deadlines and orders from CM and the Court. This is not the solution. We need to fix the disease at the root. Make ward committees monitor road works. Make road history public. Make maintenance part of road contracts. So much can be done.

Biggest reason to not use bus?
Speed.
Want to give speed to bus?
Build a bus lane. See the magic.
World over, cities are implementing bus lanes because the cost is negligible and the impact is tremendous.

Hey IT companies of Bengaluru, please try bus pool or metro pool, first :) car pool will help but won’t solve our problem
Please get your employees to use public transport - metro & bus. More they use public transport, they get more credits that can be encashed for rewards :)
Hey IT companies of Bengaluru, I have a cool proposal for you:
Make an in-house carpool app for your employees. More they carpool, they get credits which can be encashed into their payslip/meal card/Amazon/Swiggy vouchers.
What will it get you?
1. Happy employees who will (1)

What a terrible image. Making a senior citizen strain. Contrast with how it was done in Karnataka (DH). Glad Hindu put it in front page & remind us how disabled friendly we are . We can’t even make things work for an ex Prime Minister. Hope this triggers policy discussion
