Bangalore is too damn costly..

I was just reviewing my blogs, similar to our own artifact reviews and i was appalled to find that most of them were personal.. i was greatly disappointed because, i wanted this blog to spread social awareness and improve the general knowledge of the countless jobless people visiting this blog :P.. so here i am spreading awareness about Bangalore :D

I will just try to compare some aspects of Bangalore with Chennai.. I am comparing with Chennai because that is one of the only 2 cities where i have lived considerable amount of time, the other one being Allahabad which i don't even consider as a city.. it is a panchayat..

The general conception people have about Bangalore is that it is too costly.. It is not a misconception though.. But the thing is that most of them solely blame it on auto walas.. With my experience in chennai i can say that Bangalore auto walas are too good.. Around 70% of them charge based on meters and they kind of have a fixed rate of 1.5 times during odd hours.. you know what, auto walas in chennai dont even install meters, they say that it is waste of money.. You are totally at their mercy, one guy asked 80 bucks for 4 kms.. this was at a non-it, non-posh north chennai, if you go to south chennai then gone..

The main problem with Bangalore is this government run BMTC services.. OMG they charge so much, that people think autos are better.. Last week-end when i went to Chennai, i boarded a bus from bus stand to my area.. it is roughly around 12kms.. i gave 2 10rs notes to the conductor and asked for a ticket forgetting that i was in chennai.. the ticket actually costed 4.5rs.. I was kind of calculating the amount of profits this BMTC will be getting.. There are 4 different types of bus services and the cost varies based on that, and the frequency of each service is distributed properly.. It is not like the cheap buses will be having torn seats and all, it just varies based on the number of stops..

Hmmm actually there are many other points as well.. but the post will become too long and boring.. :P i know that it is already boring.. and i am feeling too sleepy to continue.. Awareness on Bangalore can wait for some other day ;)..

bye to all from
A jobless sleeping beauty.. :D
