Anyone travelling to North Goa @miagoaairport would know the taxis which cost Rs. 1200-2500 on avg to get anywhere. While there is a little used AC shuttle bus service that gets you close at 1/10th the cost. ℹ️🚍Sharing the latest timetable and fare details in public interest

fully live bus tracking for Chennai 🥺 Need to audit if the GPS data are junk or simulated, but looks realistic enough so far

(1/n) Bihar is redrawing its Panchayats for the first time in 33 years. 4,551 new Gram Panchayats. Nearly 67,000 new wards! What will this mean for development? At @gramagov, we analysed millions of data points and built an interactive handbook! 🧵 gramagovernance.com/Redrawin…

I thought it was just a matter of time before you posted about this! (complimentary) I'm also a big fan of the newer info displays on city buses. The best ones have a live-updating map with the moving bus pinpointed on it

It is possible to make cities and navigation accessible by including more languages with the improvements in technology, but the north Indian politicians are all worthless and useless, largely uneducated who can barely read or write in hindi to start with.

True, our constitutional democracy finally rests on an independent judiciary and is ultimately where hope lies: xitter.cf/barandbench/status/210…
India at UN, Geneva tweets, "We have seen the OHCHR’s remarks about today’s events in New Delhi. India is the world’s largest democracy, where the right to peaceful assembly is guaranteed by our Constitution and safeguarded by robust institutions, an independent judiciary, and a free media. As in every democracy, Indian citizens exercise this right subject to reasonable restrictions in the interest of public order. The authorities, for their part, act in accordance with the law, and our courts remain available to all for redressal of any grievances. The OHCHR’s concerns are therefore misplaced and constitute an unwarranted interference in the internal affairs of India. In this context, OHCHR would also do well to devote comparable attention to large-scale protests elsewhere, consistent with its mandate of impartiality and non-selectivity."

Lived here 15 years ago and it was a dump then as well which points to a cultural pattern about this location The location may have been cleared, but now I’m curious if this will erase the culture that fed it in the first place. Please send an update in a month 👏
huge update: all the garbage along wind tunnel road has been cleared. the ward assistant general manager from BSWML has promised to clear the debris and the rubble next. once that is done, they will beautify the space over the weekend. i will make sure they do. good to see the HAL person happy : ) separately, my next step is to talk to BSWML top level on how do we enforce civic sense and regular garbage collection. this cannot become a dumping yard again.

Do we even have a single safe rural cycle track in India? Whatever happened to the 200km Agra-Etawah Cycle Highway? en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Agra-E…
Dutch cyclists take 300 million day trips and 5.85 million overnight trips per year, generating €3.6 billion for the economy and 39,000 full-time jobs. In Europe, cycle tourism accounts for 28% of the bike industry’s total economic and employment impact. dutchcycling.nl/knowledge/cy…

Chennai city comes alive and goes to sleep with public transit. Late at night, a single bus is enabling mobility along GST road stretch. With the expanded Chennai metropolitan area, we need MORE buses, @CMOTamilnadu

GeoLibre now has a Sentinel-2 Explorer, powered by Chris Holmes' s2-stac-geoparquet project (github.com/taylor-geospatial…). It makes exploring and visualizing satellite imagery much easier. I hope more data vendors adopt this GeoParquet model for releasing satellite data. Try it out: - GeoLibre Web: web.geolibre.app/?plugin=sen… - GitHub: github.com/opengeos/GeoLibre #geospatial #opensource #opendata #GeoLibre
