And You Thought Bangalore Elevated Expressway saves time…!

-
The Most awesome Stretch of road in Bangalore…!! 9 Km of Signal free riding at 80 Km/h, Silk board to the Electronic city in 8 min...!! Now that should definitely save time and Fuel Right?

No…! Especially if you are traveling by 2 Wheeler…!

You will end up all the time saved  by riding while waiting to pay the toll. Also all the fuel you saved will go down the drain while you move in the toll line idling your engine and move at snails pace in 1st gear. [This happens during the peak hours i.e 9 AM to 10.30 AM and 5PM to 8 PM]

This is same story everyday for the two wheelers at peak hours. A single tollbooth for the two wheelers and hundreds of two wheelers waiting in queue for paying toll. If you ride at 80 Km/h then expressway can be covered in 8 min, but to pay toll you need to wait for 10 min…! Now that's insane and meaningless…!

Day pass is 20 Rs and Single way pass is 15 Rs for two wheelers. Why you pay that amount of money for a ride? Because, you are tired of Bommanhalli Signal, Hosa road junction signal…! You are tired of those Dumb Private bus drivers who stop at the signals when it's green for a indefinite time blocking traffic behind them [Yeah the TN registration Rolls Royce buses]. Or the BMTC driver who will all of a sudden come to the right fast lane at 30 Km/h.

So, I wrote 2 mails to the e-mail id mentioned on the hoardings explaining the troubles, No reply till now...

Why cant they come up with something which can distributed quickly..?? And actually make the expressway useful to everyone..!

Why don't you think/plan a proper solution to the problem along with your concerns and complaints....if you don't have one in mind...find time and work it out on your own in the similar way you did to raise your concerns!

Axis bank iConnect Login ID

-
I have a Account in Axis bank, which provided me with a iConnect netbanking account. Initially i had so much trouble finding my Login ID so the account was idle for almost a Year. Then One fine day i just got interested in Internet banking. So started Digging the Documents. Found the iConnect and Telebanking Password slips. Now started searching for the Login ID, Tried all possible ID's which were mentioned in the Welcome Kit... Just to be annoyed and not able to login. Then Found a Entry as Customer ID in the Telebanking password slip . OK Finally made out that the Customer ID is the iConnect ID too so that is the LOGIN ID for iConnect. So i just typed in the Customer ID and the Password, just to get greeted by a Page which tells me USE INTERNET EXPLORER . So Logged in with the Internet Explorer and i was able to login. After 12+ Months of holding the iConnect service i was finally able to login into the iConnect. Now i have to find something which lets me use the servic...
