Suggestions towards better lives of People

Population is power. India has worlds second largest population and still a developing country. I believe most of the energy went unexplored because of illitracy, conservative politicians, lack of exposure, dominance by few, etc, etc. I like to point out several suggestions to improve living standards of people through my blog. I hope to contribute a drop in the ocean in future. Visitors please feel free to comment your opinions that will be helpful.

APSRTC

sbprasadrao | 02 May, 2009 15:31

APSRTC I have been passenger in city buses for 20 yrs with a pass, ticket holder, footpooter, also as tickless traveller. Its been all the same from problems to luxuries through these years. So many people, such a pathetic service. Its a broken system being run. Information Technology is not even in shadows of APSRTC inspite of many of its passengers being IT people. Well when does the bus arrives, when will it reach, how can I reach some destination, do i have right change in the pocket, will i get seat to sit, will my wallet be safe, is it safe to board diseases, security, etc,etc, etc. APSRTC is one of the largest entities in world, and sure it needs to be smart, advanced and high-tech. 

Many of the passengers follow schedules, they will be very happy to register their to & fro timings for whom dedicated busses can be used. Conductor is not needed in such busses.    
Busses follow strict route tables, we need a mix of strict routes and dynamic routes scheduler based on demand.
Provide advanced sale of tickets for few buses on regular routes.
Provide automatic digital tracking of buses, its timings, its notification to public at all bus stops, so they can change their plans, 
Make every bus stop high-tech that records, how much time bus stopped at that stop, whats the next bus expected,etc
This should improve predicatability, service, smart travel
Include security cctvs in all buses for security.
Improve standards of school buses for safety of children, infact provide separate buses, introduce school zones,
Introduce special bus lanes in buzy areas to avoid traffic mess
Make traffic lessons, hospitality lessons compulsory to staff,
Instead of Single entity demarkate into manageable subsections based on profit, traffic, customer type, etc
Private entities who are willing to pay should be able to rent out at competitive rates. 
 
--I am sure many of us who read this may say impractical but trust me most of these things are practical, only question is how sincere our earlier attempts were

regarding maintenance of buses

Dr.k.prashanth | 07/08/2009, 12:34

sir,
I dr. k. prashanth,staying in hyderabad for last 10 year and am using a.p.s.r.t.c. services.
I congratulate and thank you for providing good services.in spite of all the measures you are undertaking,some problems look yo be simple but they matter.I have been observing the wrong techniques adapted by the drivers while driving.they may include,

a)most of them never apply clutch leading to inefficiency of many buses

b) some of them never stop the bus even when the bus is half vacant and there is crowd in the stop
And so many other wrong methods are there which are leading to damage of the buses and it is not at all a useful initiative to buy hundreds of buses if these are not rectified.
you may check it by arranging hidden cameras at driver's seat or mufti inspectors to rectify
Thanking you sir

Need more buses between JNTU to VBIT

Swathi | 09/03/2010, 12:06

Hi Sir,

I am swathi, I am working at VBIT, Madhapur.
The complaint is about number of buses from JNTU to VBIT.
We have less number of buses from JNTU to VBIT, but passengers are very huge. People are standing throught journey. If they want to go by share AUTO, they are taking Rs.30 from JNTU to Hitech City,it's too much amount. For transportation itself we need to spend around Rs.2000 per month. If APSRTC can provide more number of buses atleast for every half an hour in peak times like 8.00 AM to 11.00 AM and 5.00 PM to 8.00 PM for VBIT to JNTU route. People are very thankful for APSRTC and depot also get more profit by running more number of buses.

Name board on bus shelters

H.K.Narayan Prasad | 21/01/2011, 22:13

I congratulate APSRTC for introducing bus bays and its strict implementation.Now I understand you are displaying place name on bus shelters.In this matter I suggest you disply place name at the roof of the sfelter like it is dispayed in Bangaluru compraising of 12" size which can be seen by the passenger while sitting or standing.Also i request to see that vendors are cleared from bus shelters.

I am a retired officer from Indian Airlines
