The better connected you are the more progress your city/ state achieves. Technopark is expecting another 20,000 new software engineers in TCS Global Training Center and the TCS Development Center alone in the next 2-3 years, so that simply means more people shuttling b/w more cities. Once Trivandrum/ Cochin develop further as an IT destination there will be even further demand for better connectivity. So doesn't matter if the development happens in A or B but it is a pre-requisite that our cities are well connected by road, rail and air to the nearby Metropolitan urban centers, Bangalore being #1 on that list. <br /><br />@ Praveen, Cherian, Ajith... thanks for your responses mates :)scorpiogeniushttp://www.scorpiogenius.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2322276660687375585.post-34112651025552812822011-07-24T05:46:43.014+01:002011-07-24T05:46:43.014+01:00Hi Anish,

I mean the railways are reported to be working in more than its operational capacity. <br /><br />It is beyond just railways I guess. Partly I feel the huge traffic volume especially between Kerala and cities other Indian seems to because of lack of relevant opportunities back home. It can only somewhat be reduced by having new urban centers within and near Kerala which can provide employment. For eg. Coimbatore has started attracting a lot of MNCs both in IT and engineering space.<br /><br />- DeepsDeepak Kuttyhttp://www.facebook.com/people/Deepak-Kutty/1036696034noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2322276660687375585.post-13789899547606000992011-07-21T19:56:59.860+01:002011-07-21T19:56:59.860+01:00Its hard to believe top management in Railways fai...Its hard to believe top management in Railways failed to identify such a profitable route.Ajithhttp://twitter.com/ajithcgnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2322276660687375585.post-73775672315601323602011-07-21T14:32:59.093+01:002011-07-21T14:32:59.093+01:00cant be more accurate than this..i sincerely wish ...cant be more accurate than this..i sincerely wish people realise this big public gimmick!!!<br />excellent analysis.....i hope this reaches wider places...Cherian Mathewhttp://profiles.google.com/wetsparknoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2322276660687375585.post-51867942159192752602011-07-21T14:09:29.399+01:002011-07-21T14:09:29.399+01:00I've experienced this in Bangalore over the la...I've experienced this in Bangalore over the last 3 years..The unholy nexus between the bus operators and the powers that be is pretty clear... Its a mad rush especialy during festive season and the bus owners make serious money...2000 per ticket! This is why I somehow avoid the buses most of the time..Have heard stories about E.Ahmed pulling strings from behind and playing spoilsport with the plan to make kochuveli express a daily train..Praveen SRhttp://profiles.google.com/blazeofglory2007noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2322276660687375585.post-42805304112845172452011-07-21T06:03:12.388+01:002011-07-21T06:03:12.388+01:00Oommen Chandy and his entire cabinet is visiting d...Oommen Chandy and his entire cabinet is visiting delhi this August.

The high handedness private bus operators show cannot be described in words. 1200 is a Bangalore - Ernakulam ticket on weekends, and during festival seasons it can go up to 2000! Last Christmas season, I know people who paid Rs.3200 for a one way ticket on a rickety front engined Leyland (air) bus. Pleas to start more trains have always fallen on deaf ears, and we continue to suffer. And people, of course, shut up and take it up their backsides, shelling out 10000+ for a return trip per family. Unfortunately, nothing can be done. Everyone makes money at the expense of us "kazhutha pothujanam".vadakkusnoreply@blogger.com
