EXCERPTS FROM A SURVEY
“I have to travel between Basavanagudi
and Agara every day for work. There
aren’t direct buses to my office; I
change three buses to get
there and on my way back, I
usually have to take an auto as one or
the other connecting bus is never
available. If I am not allowed to take
my car, how do they expect me to get
home,” questions T. Rashmi, a marketing
professional from Bangalore.
