2011
Mission "10vi Pass"
We have put this campaign on hold for now. Although Traffic Police and PMC officials liked and supported this campaign, they never "owned up" the campaign as their own. It was not possible to run the campaign in that state. The PMC Commissioner and DCP-Traffic also changed in 2011. Instead of starting the campaign all over again, we have decided to put it on hold. We hope to revive it sometime soon.
Buses in Left Lane
This idea came from PMPML. SPTM participated and providd them support. We soon determined that the bottleneck was improper parking provided on Karve Road. As a result, vehicles are "legally" parked right upto the bus stop, making it virtually impossible for the buses to stop right at the bus stops.
SPTM followed up with PMC and identified the concerned PMC officer. He was willing to fix the problem after monsoon of 2011. However, PMPML did not organize any meeting to coordinate between traffic police, PMC and PMPML even after 2-3 follow ups from SPTM. We are assuming that PMPML has shelved the idea.
