Siv,
Yes,nice view,small villages.Felt bad returning to B'lore
Chennai has some worst minuses which even its own residers dislike to the core. Kattaayam Bangalore is good in such aspects. Bloody there is not even a map outside both Koyambedu and Central Station, to help newcomers. Agreed that is not citizen's fault but govt's. I mean that this bad attitude starts with Govt itself and gets carried over to the last last tamil citizen.Quote:

Then i turned on GPS and found out myself that there is one inside itself! Later i realied, those 2 guys were suspecting me :rotfl:
I am not saying chennai is bad, just becos of this. Even if u remove this, i have worst stories.
Regarding this movie portrayal, that mobile-misuse-student, i guess the mentality is everywhere not just in chennai. Hope many ppl know that, outsiders coming to bangalore feel there is more and more sexual-liberty(yes) in bangalore, and try to make use of that.
Some aspects....Quote:

LM, it is! Even in Shanti Nagar, Banshankari & Shivaaji Nagar, there are maps! In chennai, there is only one Koyuambedu for both local and outstation bus terminals. But bangalore, both local and outstation terminus are distributed. Majestic is NOT the only one.
agree lm... with the way they at times treat the tamil people... starting from how ur neighbours try to dominate u to the way the school/college going local youths arrogant behavior..
i am not generalising here... am jus saying based on the experiences i hav... ofcorse the people u see in multiplexes, highclass restaurants and malls friendly...
I've never seen a map in Majestic Bus Stand (both moffusil and BMTC) and in the station. Koyambedu CMBT has clear markings about which bus is stationed in which platform.
This is never a point of contention.Quote:

சிறுமிகளை பணத்திற்காக வெளிமாநிலங்களுக்கு விற்பது, வழி தவறும் சிறார்களை பிடித்து பிச்சையெடுக்க அனுப்புவது.. இதில் சென்னை முக்கிய இடம்.
first of all, the bus name boards are not friendly for non kannadaas... being a metro i don undetstand why they don even write the names in english... dono if its improved recently...
LM, speaking only about city maintenance, which is govt-aspect and not people's, there are some pluses in Bangalore.
Map - there is maps both in Majestic, shanti nagar and Shivaji nagar. I have seen. Majestic / Kempegowda was built long ago itself. Koyambedu is a recent one. Needless to say which one is clean. Bangalore has many big flyovers and most were built some 8 yrs before itself. Dust bin management is better. There are widespread public toilets.
Auto is costly but mostly metered, so if its costly for a specific A to B, then its the same for all autowalas. Atleast some control is there.
Worst things - Bangalore traffic(ppl) are the worst behaved ones on whole country. Both 2 wheelers and Car drivers. Chennai is better in this.
I've been to Chennai three times and Bangalore once.
Have not had enough of Chennai even now but have had enough with Bangalore.
If I were to migrate to India, my choice of residence would be Chennai.
Once there was an arguement with me and another bangalorean. Once i said some bad things abt bangalore he became too much konthalichified. He lashed out at chennai, and also even about North Indians who come to Bangalore and don't respect locals at all. I said, its always that one shud see mistakes without comparisions. and i said, waht if i brought another kannada guy and made him say what i said. He cannot blame that guy na.
Sakala, I agree that Bangalore is generally cleaner than Chennai. But your earlier post was in a different tone and sounded like you were blaming Chennai for some silly reasons. We've digressed a lot. So let's leave it here.
All bus have normal Numbers now. And Bangalore is ahead and one of the 1st in SOuth India, to use many Volvos.
Regarding people culture, yes. still visitors and even insiders find chennai ppl rude. Not everybody, but autowalas etcQuote:

That is not affecting anyone, though agree, chennai buses are superb efficient in clearly mentioning the source and dest. Also, the Volvo/Cusion/NonAC/WhiteBoard/Yellowboard classification is even present in chennai! And also Buses are very well connected to almost all areas. Thatswhy most ppl take buses in chennai and also thats the same very reason there are quite less takers of Auto, in chennai. And of course becos of that only auto walas charge excess. but not everyone is interested in buses and also not everyone can afford the aniyaaya charges of auto.Quote:

And, in chennai bus boards, everything is only in engligh?!? No tamil?!??!
But bangalore, outside pichakaars volunteerly come and settle in bangalore! considering the oppurtunities :lol: i see thirunangais mostly from TN, torturing ppls in bangalore signals.Quote:

sakala,
Too much support to B'lore-ah :)
Ok,as a kannadiga who has lived in Chennai(though very long back)and who keeps visiting chennai atleast once every couple of years,I find both cities have their pro's and con's.
B'lore is probably cleaner but chennai is not as bad as it was.Food is extremely costly in chennai-no darshini's and bakeries(a good business idea to start a chain).Chennai has it's T Nagar which nothing(even the lanes of commercial street)in bangalore can match.
Chennai is very hot but b'lore is fast catching up,Chennai has a vibrant culture which b'lore can never replicate(becos majority of citizens here are immigrants and so no chance a culture could develop).
B'lore is more cosmopolitan and favours outsiders.
SS,even in Chennai bus boards are in Tamil only.
Auto in Chennai is day light robbery but bus service is efficient .B'lore -Auto is metered but still very costly and is catching up on the bus service,Transport minister Ashok has done some good work.
B'lore is supposed to be progressive and Chennai conservative(have no idea on this,I quit the city 22 years back).
Personally,would like to live in Chennai,the weather is the only deterrent.Even last week when I was there,a/c illama oru nimisham irukka mudiyala.
LM,
Have no idea on english bus boards in Chennai.Did not observe when I was there last week.
sathya,
Traffic is the same boss in both cities,the perils of a growing city.And whereever there is bad traffic,discipline takes a hit.
Are you sure, Cinefan? I'm yet to come across a bus with only Tamil boards. All the buses have destination written in both English and Tamil. A good, balanced post otherwise :thumbsup:Quote:

there maybe exceptions but mostly its written in english as well... as lm who i living in chennai now says... namma aalunga dhaan englishla peru eludhuradhu fashionu nenakkiravanga aachae...
as u said... chennai has become expensive rentwise now... u can get a 2bhk in koramangala for 10k... but not in besant nagar for the same price...
but saappaattukku ellaam chennai dhaan...
Got to agree, it's not the same Chennai I used to love 4-5 years back :cry:
