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 infrastructure of waiting: How Bengaluru’s gridlock steals our right to time

Bengaluru needs accessible infrastructure that makes life easier for everyone, not tunnels and corridors built for a privileged few.

Selomi's text arrived at 7 am. "Let's leave by 8.30. The traffic will be brutal otherwise." We both live about 10 kilometres from the government office we had been going to every day for the last two weeks. The nearest metro station is four kilometres from our homes, which means forty minutes to reach it, twenty on the metro, and twenty-five on foot from Vidhana Soudha to the office. An hour and twenty minutes each way, assuming nothing goes wrong. In Bengaluru, something always does. By the end of the second week, we had the routine down. Coffee in a…

How accessible is Koramangala? A case study on bus connectivity challenges

While 318 routes touch this Bengaluru suburb, gaps in last-mile connectivity and weak connections remain a problem.

Koramangala is one of Bengaluru’s most recognisable neighbourhoods. Originally planned as a suburb, it witnessed a transformation in the 1990s thanks to its connectivity to Electronic City and the IT corridors along Outer Ring Road. This boom drew skilled professionals from across the country, converting Koramangala into a vibrant commercial hub. With its rapid growth, the question of public transport became even more important, not just for residents, but also for the businesses that thrive here. During OpenCity’s Bengaluru Datajam, organised around the theme of public transport, our group focused on Koramangala’s bus connectivity with the rest of the city.…
