Idhula Sakala vera Chennai-vida Bangalore better-nu sollittaru

Some aspects....

Bangalore railway station, Majestic bus stand-la ellam map irukka enna? And I have had some bitter experiences wrt Bangaloreans' hospitality. We can't generalize a whole city based on a few experiences, IMO.

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.

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.

This is never a point of contention.

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.

[NOV]

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.
