I built this platform when I faced the same problem after I moved to Bangalore a few months ago. But, finding someone who I could see myself sharing a home with proved to be an impossible exercise.

Personally, I have never met anyone who buys a Fortuner or Endeavor for their mile-munching capability (the only acceptable reason). A genuine use-case but that's about it, KEEP IT ON THE HIGHWAY. Our cities don't need SUVs, especially if it's a tool for your fragile masculinity
Here is how we can start:
1) Build a safer street
2) Build a safer locality
3) Build a safer city
BUT, once we begin, we will realise that the safer a street gets for people, the lesser motor-vehicles it accommodates. Then, the so-called 'tough' decisions begin. #Cities4All
214 humans, a majority of whom are pedestrians and cyclists. Drive as a weekend getaway, I do. Drive because you enjoy the same, I do. But realise your responsibility while you do so. Your motor vehicle is far from ideal for our cities, it's downright dangerous. #citiesforpeople

They say “We can’t do that. We’re not Amsterdam.” You reply “Amsterdam wasn’t always like that either” & show before & after transformations illustrating how cities we admire made CHOICES. They try different excuses. Don’t accept them either. (1e van der Helststraat, 1978 & 2005)

#RideForSafety is back. #KeepMeSafe is the call we put out last year to motorists. This Oct 2nd we #RideAgainstRoadVoilence. Time to give people who walk and cycle their due.
Absolutely amazing. Quite a departure from the usual truck-first, minivan-second and car-third streets. The bicyclist? Forced into a rut or on the curb and, if you've ever ridden in India, in the rut AND on the curb.
Levels of hospitality in #Amsterdam. On the left a bicycles-first street, where cars are guests. The narrow street on the right is primarily for pedestrians, where cyclist are to behave as guests.
"But the #pedestrian was sorta kinda in the way of harm, right?". Wrong, we haven't built #cities around the needs of pedestrians and #bicyclists that's all. This must change.
"We don’t have to just accept [pedestrian deaths], and they aren’t just acts of God. They are very often the result of political decisions about what our values are or, in the case of pedestrians in particular, whose lives matter." -@schmangee #RightOfWay bit.ly/3jkPuQY

This is your chance to ditch that vehicle and get on a bicycle coming up on this very same segment. With bus lanes next to it there will be no more excuse. It’s now in our hands (or legs). #resetwithcycling #cycletowork metrosaga.com/corridor-betwe… – at Bengaluru, India

“We expect to learn many things from this exercise, this will help us scale up the plans to build extensive networks. We hope a successful model will encourage many to take up cycling.” Commissioner, @DULTBangalore. Link: urbantransport.kar.gov.in/my…
The #trafficpolice in my city had a meeting with the local bicycle club's president to ask that we cyclist maintain a single file. I wonder if they also hold such special meetings to discuss how to police rampant 'wrong-way' two-wheeler riding and unsafe #motorist behaviour.

#Carculture. Aspirations need to be moulded and asserted upon the impressionable during their formation years. Maybe instead of of the fanciest car in the showroom, children would desire to own the cleanest vehicle in the neighbourhood. #sustainablecities #sustainabledevelopment
