In 3 months since July great progress in the meter auto/taxi revolution in Bengaluru.
- More drivers
- Cool street-hailing feature
- Transparent fare break-up
- Empowered drivers offer voluntary discount to customers (cool feature in my view)
Search Nagara for your ride
It will be good if EC provides the number of deletions due to death.
This would be one way to know the COVID impact.

Dear @DULTBangalore
Kindly use the 2022 updated PCU values for the CMP update.

Citizen

A friendly reminder to Bengaluru that good reliable public transport is the only way out of private vehicle dependency i.e traffic congestion.
For two years, I travelled from Badlapur to Nariman Point by local train to CSMT, followed by a taxi. Before that, I spent three years commuting from Badlapur to Andheri.
Then, one day, during peak hours, while boarding a CSMT-bound local at Badlapur, I slipped on the platform and narrowly escaped falling into the gap between the platform and the tracks.
I survived that day. But something changed.
That was the end of my daily commute by local trains. I told myself, never again.
I chose to pay nearly six times the rent to live in Vikhroli, closer to work, so I could commute by bike or cab instead.
Of course, my expenses shot up. But I gained something I had begun to take for granted: peace of mind. I could finally sleep without nightmares of falling off a packed local train.
I know this comes from a place of privilege. Millions of Mumbaikars living in the distant suburbs have little choice but to depend on local trains. Not everyone can afford to move closer to work or pay for an alternative commute.
But if you can afford to make that choice and are still putting it off, please reconsider.
Mumbai's local trains are the city's lifeline. But for those of us forced to travel in dangerously overcrowded conditions, they can also become a death trap.
No commute should come at the cost of your life.
If you have a way out, take it.
3 questions to @DULTBangalore
1) Are you doing the CMP update as BMLTA Secretariat?
2) What projects are considered in the Base Case?
3) What projects are considered as "committed" in your scenarios?
@Tejasvi_Surya - CMP is an important document & the city must get it right.
Rare opportunity for Bengaluru.
- Drivers want more commuters to search for Nagara
- Commuters want more drivers to stay online on Nagara
It's mutually beneficial for both drivers and commuters to promote Nagara & improve digital ridehailing.
Go Nagara for fair fares.
All these projects do not have the statutory BMLTA approval.
Govt hopes that it's amendment to Sec.19 of the BMLTA Act rescues it.
But they face a very real prospect of a rude shock at the Courts
Car-brained thinking has taken over GBA & B-SMILE egged on by real estate lobby.
Some hard truths Bengaluru must know:
- Phase 2 cost sharing between Centre & State still unresolved.
- Phase 3 MoU not yet signed
- Phase 3a killed by Tunnel Roads
- Blue & Pink Line incomplete
- Coach shortages
- Unfair fares
And BMRCL talks about Phase 4!
Audacious.
Bengaluru Metro's 215-km Phase 4 plan prioritises suburbs, core city takes a back seat

London is so cruel, isn't it Bengaluru?
They don't care about cars.
Our leaders are spending multi billion dollars for cars & silly London only thinks about moving people.
Our leaders also have so planned that pedestrians or cyclists can never enter Tunnel & elevated roads
Dear Bengaluru citizens,
Please spread the word on Nagara 🙏🏽
After a long time Bengaluru is able to get fair fare metered rides. We mustn't lose this.
More searches means more drivers online.
Therefore community support is the only way to solve ridehailing problems.
Thanks.
Now what's your excuse for not searching for Nagara?
Society shapes choices, Bengaluru.
Do we want fair fares?
Yes!!
Then let's not wait for Government to regulate better.
Let's actively encourage drivers who operate by meter fares!
Go Nagara Bengaluru!
Let's do it.
Brilliant discovery by ASI.
Now it's our duty & responsibility to make sure it is restored and preserved for generations to come.
Fascinating news from Hampi.
ASI has unearthed a rare paired Vishnu and Shiva temple complex in the dvikuta (twin sanctum) style near the Lotus Mahal.
A major temple discovery after years.
