TIME is money , Dont waste it in Queue

 (Reposting it again as earlier post got deleted somehow.  .)

Europe is well known for its transportation facilities..believe me its really fantastic. Be it Trains,Trams or Buses. You have so good network of it so that you can start your journey any time.
Not only tourists but local people also use this public transport very often. There are many things which are helping them to make use of it and one of it is Ticket Vending Machines.

We often see this picture at all Bus stations, Railway stations etc. without fail and we just hate it than anything else.

So what these people are doing here.

Apart from internet bookings which  is getting used in India quite often these days  here they use Ticket  Vending Machines. Its best thing to get rid of linessssssssssss.

Picture shows basic model  of such machines. Its simple mechanical machine... yes they have  advanced kind of models with space ball , touch screens and all but thought this suits us more.

Its very simple to use.. You can pay by Notes, Coins or Card.

The chart shows the code numbers for different cities.

Topmost  left button is to select your language

Below that two columns ..one is for adult and one is for kids. (Half ticket)
In these columns different buttons for One trip ticket, Return Ticket, Day ticket, State ticket, Group ticket etc etc.

Another two buttons up there to add number of commuters..
 Thats it... no complications....

It takes hardly 4-5 mins to get it even for a stranger....

Some of you will say that instead of this we can just  increase counters ..we have so much berojgaar public and all...but again.. counter means  10am (approx) to 5 pm (sharp) timings....   1 pm to 2 pm (depends) lunch time....  chutta  nahi kya??  500 ka chutta tera @#$ dega kya??  .. abe teri.. tu line me kab khada tha be....

 I have heard that at some places in Mumbai we do have these kinda machines but since i hvnt seen or used them i thought  this should make its entry to the blog..

Floods in Pune....(Strange but True)

                  

  From last few years FLOOD is just normal thing in monsoon in Pune...but is it just because of heavy rains.. certainly not.. but because of  blocking the drainage pipe lines... Thanks to the  scrap material including plastics  directly going in to the pipelines and resulting in choke up..... So can we avoid these situation ??

of-course YES...

So what "advance" techniques these people are using here .....absolutely nothing.....its just simple method which makes huge change...

Lets see what this method is....

This is how it looks like.

Exactly the same DHAKKANS like we have.

In our case we just have this lid and below are the drainage lines so that all scrap can easily go into the pipelines...

here it is slightly different... here they have a Big Bucket with holes just below this lid. See attached image. 

So basically all the scraps going into the drainage is getting filtered by this bucket and allowing only the sewage water along with things which wont choke up the lines to flow.. One more picture for better clarification...

After every one or two months cleaning  guys will come open up the lid and empty the buckets. Thats it !!!  Cleaning the bucket is very simple.. unfortunately missed to click photos of it..

It certainly doesn't need any extra cost.....  

We may need to empty these buckets once  in a week in rainy season...

So if we don't want to see the picture below we need to do this small change....
