If you think this typical set of conversations conveyed by a bus conductor , you are wrong

Person X: “Sir. I am going to CV Raman nagar Via MG Road and Ulsoor. Are u going somewhere close by. Can I drop you”
Person Y: “I need to reach Mayo Hall very urgently. I am not getting any bus ”
Person X: “I will leave you near Mayo hall”

X and Y reached mayo hall in time. Y expressed happiness to X and was able to finish off the job on time. Person Z joined X for the next part of the journey until Old Madras Road.

Person Y -> Mr. Sadashivaah (An ex LIC employee currently working as a insurance consultant)
Person Z -> Mrs. Mariyamma (She runs a chai shop near IFlex)

Mrs. Mariyamma was 50th Pillion. Yes. Whenever Person X travel in his vehicle, he make sure someone will be there behind him. When he starts from Source S to destination D, he makes sure what is route to traverse. Obviously there will be some places (Lets say L, M, N O) which excist between S and D. There is high probability that many people start from same source and they are supposed to reach one of the places viz L, M, N , O or D.

Person X -> Yours Truly

I celebrated 50th Pillion Day. The sense of inward happiness, and satisfaction that I had got while dropping these 50 people to respective destinations is invaluable. Some of them are in touch with me.

People talk about issues, pot holes, pollution, traffic snarls etc. They end up riding a 10 seater Scorpio or a 5 seater Santro or some other four wheeler with only one person.

Imagine a system where we utilize every single seat (No matter its a Car, Two wheeler or a Auto). I am pretty sure we can reduce traffic to a significant extent!

If you travel in your own vehicle, make sure you will help others. Try this out once and you will see the difference.

Some more tit bits of information to reduce the chaos!
> Use your company cab. You can sleep, talk, read, listen to your favorite music or peacefully sleep.
> Start off Car pools / 2 Wheeler pools in your company. Check out http://www.commuteeasy.com/, a creation of Vipul Kasera.
> If you are traveling alone, help people (esp old aged people and children) to reach their destinations
> Finally follow the lane discipline and be patient while riding. Honking worsen things!

Lets STOP cribbing about the system and START off bringing a change.

I am looking forward for celebrating “100th pillion say” AS SOON AS POSSIBLE
