City life

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 etc

not numbers... i mean the display of destination names for the passengers to identify... if its in english too now, then thats good... i am speaking abt the normal city buses which majority of the people use... not everyone can afford volvos...

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.

Just few weeks ago I read a news that a group of students got caught as they watched porn in their mobiles. It happened in Tirunelveli. Last year at Thirumangalam a boy [aged 7] was killed by group of homosexual teens [all are below 16]. I read at least one child rape a day in the newspaper which is not happening in Chennai.
I can list many, third rated crimes are happening all over Tamil Nadu. It is funny that these directors are building as if Chennai is the most evil place in Tamil Nadu and the rest of the place are as equal to heaven.

சிறுமிகளை பணத்திற்காக வெளிமாநிலங்களுக்கு விற்பது, வழி தவறும் சிறார்களை பிடித்து பிச்சையெடுக்க அனுப்புவது.. இதில் சென்னை முக்கிய இடம்.

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.

Regular bus commuters in bangalore depend upon Bus numbers and new comers always has to ask others if this bus goes there. Thats a thing bangalore BMTC needs to correct. Volvos display areas properly.

And, in chennai bus boards, everything is only in engligh?!? No tamil?!??!
