I see ambulances struck in the middle of heavy traffic, honking for its free passage as it is caught up in jams due to non operative signals, unmanned crossroads, unhealthy roads and VIP movements. Other vehicles either in front or on the side cannot give space to it to slide out, despite their best intentions. I request GHMC and Traffic Police to develop a software to automatically turn signals green when the ambulances are near traffic posts. This could save the life of the patient in distress and minimise mortality rate.

Everyone talks about the Airport Metro, but one look at the pillars and completion seems nowhere in sight. Meanwhile, a faster, cheaper, roomier alternative called the Suburban Rail Airport Corridor is finally getting off the drawing board. This dedicated corridor with its specialised coaches will link the airport to vast stretches of Bengaluru, where the metro connection is still years away.
