Unlock Bangalore...

Excellent Initiative by Times of India. I wrote about the growing chaos on the Bangalore roads sometime back on this blog. In fact in any social circle the safest topics to talk about are the traffic and the road conditions in the city. But what are we doing to control it ? This initiative by the TOI is all about getting awareness in the people of Bangalore, making them more civilized, more responsible. The main problem here is the drivers and Cab walahs who doesn't seem to give an ear to all these sort of problems, they break the rules / laws so confidently, just because the cab belongs to some corporator / or they know a local politician.

Well its time that we the responsible Bangaloreans take the initiative and report any such incident, I know the number given on the cabs where it say " In case the driver is driving rash please call...." number never works, its always out of order, so here is the solution, take down the registration number and report the incident on the e-mail address:

unlock.bangalore@timesgroup.com

Let us tell them that they are being watched continuously, even if the traffic cop is not there! Just reporting is not enough, some more things are required:

1) Car pools
2) Encourage children to use the school bus
3) If you are traveling in the cab, ask the driver to follow the rules, or don't use it
4) avoid driving under the influence of alcohol
5) If you are driving, give more respect to the pedestrians.

Happy Driving!
