Hello everyone,

This is great work Nikhil! We commuters really need something like this.... 
Badly... :( 

There are a few questions that come to my mind... - Are we looking at a 
system that would work on real time data or stand alone? Will the system 
get the real time updates of the buses? Where they are? At what time they 
reached a spot etc? It the system being designed considering this? or it is 
a tool which would help PMPML to plan their routes and have inventory of 
bus stops? I would like to be clear on what exactly we mean when we talk 
about 'Management', to what extent are we talking about managing the 
system? Once I am clear on these, will have more thought to share :)

About the presentation....I see the presentation here has covered all the 
important aspects that should be looked at but I feel that its has not 
talked much about the 'Analysis and Statistics' part of it. I see a 
'Analysis, Statistics' Tab present but there is nothing written about 
it. Can we/ should we give few ideas on what 'Analysis' should/ may 
include? If one is developing a 'Bus Route Management System' - Managing 
would require a set of data and the system would collate the data and good 
analysis support would 'improve' the functioning of the system. Again here 
I am not able to understand the actual functioning of the system... once I 
am clear on that would love to share few ideas on analysis too...

Another thought that comes to my mind after reading Chirag's mail which was 
written considering more about the commuters perspective, we may also have 
some kind of commuter feedback to the management system that may help the 
system managers to improve the service delivery. Effective management of 
the system is effected by many other aspects other that route and stop 
management.... issues like: buses not stopping at designated stops, over 
occupied buses, bus breakdown frequency, driver/ TC behavior etc are also 
important. With increased used of smart phones creating this link should 
not be difficult....

Please share your thoughts on the above comments/ suggestions.

Regards,
Pallavi
