People want more road<br />
space for their cars <strong>and</strong> two<br />
wheelers, is it worth taking<br />
up road space for bus or<br />
cycle lanes?!<br />
The new Metro is<br />
NICE! But its so<br />
painful once you<br />
are off the station<br />
No information on<br />
Buses, that is why I<br />
prefer my own<br />
vehicle<br />

separate perception (hasn’t used but<br />
has opinion) from feedback (is a user,<br />
has a feedback from experience).<br />

Praja Mobility<br />
Survey<br />
Plan to redesign <strong>and</strong> rerun the survey<br />
based on output of first run.<br />
Will most likely convert this to a half<br />
yearly track<br />
All details will be made available in<br />
public domain<br />

Same thing asked a<br />
different way, no<br />
surprises. Time<br />
<strong>and</strong> crowding<br />
come on top

Top Ask -<br />
Separate lanes
What next on the study?<br />
One more iteration – redesign parts <strong>and</strong> flow based on first<br />
run, <strong>and</strong> rerun. Things like:<br />
Better coverage of satellite areas (<strong>Commuter</strong> Rail catchment)<br />
Kannada translation as option<br />
Grow this to a track<br />
Run it every six months<br />
Seek out some partners to share costs<br />
More money = Can then do large sample sizes, Can do multiple<br />
focused tracks (Bus focused, Mode share checks, Car user<br />
perceptions etc)<br />
