Click the photographs of pedestrians in difficulties, and send!

Dear all, 
 
After doing a series of pedestrian events called “Come, Cross the Road” to observe and highlight the issues faced by pedestrians on Bangalore roads, Hasiru Usiru is  now ready to release the final draft of the report with our findings and observations.
 
As part of this event, we would like to showcase photographs emphasising the different problems faced by pedestrians on a daily basis. The problems could be any of the below or ANYTHING you perceive to be a problem for pedestrians in the city. 
 
  • Difficulty in crossing the roads
  • Bad footpaths
  • Dimly lit subways, inaccessible skywalks
  • Roads where flyovers start/end where people cannot cross 
  • Motorbikes parked/riding on the pavement 
  • Garbage and construction material on the footpaths 
  • Signal-free corridors (aerial shots if you have will be super!) 
  • Badly lit roads which are unsafe
  • Roads, Foothpaths made inaccessible for people with special needs
We request all of you to please share any such photos- we’ll showcase a total of 30 selected photos in the photo exhibition with due credits.
 
Please mail the photos to sridhar.raman@gmail.com 
 
Please do share the photos with us by October 15th. Please also let us know how we should credit you. You can also send us pictures with credits as a water-mark else we can put up the credits seperately if you wish us to do it that way.
 
Please also do share this call with as many people as possible. 
 
Thanks,
Vinay Sreenivasa for Hasiru Usiru

The first phase alone involves acquring 625 electric buses at a reported cost of ₹697 crore. The fleet includes 400 non-air-conditioned and 225 air-conditioned buses and is being operated from five depots: Vyasarpadi, Perumbakkam, Central, Tondiarpet-I and Poonamallee. The investment is substantial. Chennai has not inducted a fleet of this size in years. The buses are low-floor, wheelchair accessible and equipped with passenger information systems, CCTV cameras…

Riding the Chennai Metro is a breeze, but last-mile connectivity remains a worry

Chennai needs a unified transit system to ensure seamless travel for metro commuters on either side of the journey.

Stepping off the Thirumangalam metro at 6.45 pm, the train ride seemed effortless. It was cool, fast, and on time, taking just fifteen minutes from the office. Now comes the hard part. Standing at the station exit, finding a ride home is a struggle, as I switch between three apps to book an auto. The metro feeder bus only runs every 40 minutes and has just left. By the time I reach home, the "fast" metro trip has cost an extra half-hour and ₹120 in surge-priced rides, a last-mile problem the metro itself was built to solve. This is the…
