Uploaded on 2018-06-28 by Sadhvi S
A home to almost 12 crore people, Bangalore, the Silicon Valley of India is now facing serious infrastructural and developmental issues due to a population outbreak in the 2010s. I've taken the bus stops near my house and school to better understand the idea of invisible-information. Hebbala bus-stop (as shown in the picture) is an important bus-stop and a place of changeover of buses for many people. At office times (9-10 am and 5:30-6:30 pm) a lot of office goers from all sections of society are observed although most of the upper middle class and middle class people prefer private transport. At around 7:30-8:30 am and 3:30-4:30 pm a lot of school going children and university going students are observed.The invisible information observed here are- * The 1st invisible information here is the type of people and the pattern of using public transport which can help alleviate stress on the present system. * The no. the of passengers using public transport largely outnumbers the availability buses thus, seeking immediate solution.Also, these bus-stops are not big enough to host about 5000 people and 100 buses which stop by everyday. About 25 bus-stops in Bangalore face such problems requiring immediate solutions.
