Speech to the Annual Press Conference 2014 — Part 2
Ladies and gentlemen,
let me summarize: We achieved our interim targets for volume growth two years faster than planned. We are laying the foundations for our future success with an unparalleled investment program. And with a customer-focused innovation initiative, we are extending our "Vorsprung durch Technik" – for example by putting our e-tron technology into the midsize and large model series.
What does that mean specifically for 2014? First of all, for our growth. As Mr. Strotbek has already said: We will further expand our unit sales and increase our revenue to more than 50 billion euros. Our car deliveries will grow in all regions of the world – also in Europe. In the United States, we are taking the next big step towards 200,000 – our milestone for the year 2020. We are very optimistic that we will pass that milestone ahead of time. And in China, we aim to be the first premium manufacturer to sell more than half a million cars this year.
We made a very good start to the year 2014: In January and February, we delivered a total of 242,400 automobiles, surpassing the prior-year figure by 9.3 percent. Our compact class is proving to be very attractive to customers. Demand for the A3* was 53 percent above the prior-year level, although the new generation is not yet available everywhere.
Our next important product launches this year include the start of sales of the new A3 family* in China and the United States. In both countries, the compact class is still under-represented in the sales statistics of the premium market – but that is changing. In China for example, this segment is growing more than twice as fast as the premium market overall. We will profit from this development especially with the A3 Sedan*. It is the optimal model – at the right time, in the right place.
At the same time, we will strengthen the luxury class with the new version of the A8*. It will be available worldwide this year. This is an important step, because two thirds of our A8 customers are in China or North America.
You can see some of this year's particularly sporty new models here on the stage. For the first time, the Cabriolet of the A3 family is available as an S3* with quattro. The Audi A1* is our proof that the quattro success formula can be applied to any size of car – that is pure driving pleasure made by Audi in Brussels. And the new Audi TT* is the embodiment of Audi pure.
One week ago in Geneva, our subsidiaries also presented important new models. Lamborghini opened a completely new chapter with the Huracán*. It is the successor to the Gallardo, the most successful Lamborghini in the brand's history so far. The Huracán has already proven to be a worthy successor: more than 1,000 Lamborghini fans have already placed their orders. Ducati celebrated the world premiere of the new Diavel*. It will boost sales in 2014 along with the new Monster 1200*, which already had its trade-fair debut in November.
But back to our core brand – and to our new ultra-light models. What is behind this label? We have started an efficiency championship across the entire model range. We call our CO2 champions of each model series the Audi ultra models. This is to the benefit of our customers. Because thanks to the new efficiency label, they can be sure that they are driving the most economical model. And for us at Audi, ultra means an additional incentive to set a new efficiency benchmark with each model version.
As the "non-plus ultra," our ultimate goal is CO2-neutral mobility. We look beyond the lifecycle of a car and organize the entire value chain according to this goal. For example, 100 percent of the electricity that we use at our plant here in Ingolstadt is from regenerative sources.
Ladies and gentlemen,
also with our cars' modular platform system, the focus is on efficiency. We systematically utilize all possible synergies in the expansion of our product range. We are currently developing the next stage of evolution – our longitudinal modular platform. In addition to our site projects and investments in future technologies, we are also making enormous expenditure for future growth with our modular strategy. We sow today what we reap tomorrow. Nonetheless, we will remain within our strategic target corridor in 2014, that is, an operating return on sales of between eight and ten percent. Our course here is clear: long-term, sustainable success.
We have already spoken in detail about the technical innovations that will ensure our lasting success. How are we preparing Audi for the future in other ways? We will continue with our targeted recruitment. The focus is on electric mobility and CO2 performance, car connectivity, and lightweight construction with a multi-material mix.
In Germany alone, we will recruit about 1,500 employees in 2014, and will offer apprenticeships to more than 750 young people. In the medium term, we will approach the mark of 80,000 employees.
In parallel, it is important to continuously further develop our processes and structures, so that we can react quickly and flexibly to market requirements even in a world of almost unlimited options. Because the customer is king! And flexibility and speed are the competitive advantages of the future.
All the links in the value chain have to play their part: In the development of our automobiles, we take full advantage of our trump card: the modular platform. In procurement, it is a matter of identifying the best partners for our innovation projects and developing strong supplier structures around our new plants. "Globalization through localization" is the motto here. The shorter the distances in the supply chain, the more precisely components can be delivered "just in time" and "just in sequence."
That is why for example we are starting in Mexico this year with the construction of a supplier park close to the plant and creating the right conditions for our partners to set up facilities there. We want to localize two thirds of components in Mexico by the time the Q5* goes into series production.
And now to production: The bigger the variety of models, the more flexibly we have to assembly multiple models in one plant on the same lines. Our modular development strategy and the Audi Production System are crucial competitive advantages also in this context. At present for example, we are preparing our plants for the production of plug-in-hybrids. We integrate them into existing assembly lines so we do not need a separate plant for our e-tron models. This allows us to meet regionally different needs and to flexibly adjust our production to demand without risking high fluctuations in capacity utilization. This flexibility makes it easier for us to up-scale our e-tron drive system quickly into other segments and several factories.
More models, more drive systems, more equipment versions – that presents a difficult task for sales as well. The important skill here is to offer customers all possible options, but not to overburden them with an excessive selection. Our Audi City showrooms demonstrate how this can be done. They are our innovation laboratory for the sales of tomorrow. Customers can playfully experience Audi's diversity in the last detail. In February, we opened our third Audi City worldwide in Berlin. More will follow. And we will use elements of the digital Audi City technology also in conventional retailing. At the same time, we are convinced that a premium product needs top advice, which responds individually to the customer's wishes. That is why personal contact remains at the heart of Audi sales. The example shows: Our "Vorsprung durch Technik" is always there to serve people.
We have exactly the same approach to piloted driving. This is a matter above all of more safety and better traffic flows on the roads. We plan for implementation at speeds up to 60 kilometers per hour in series production already this decade. The development is based on driver assistance systems that we already offer in our current models. At the beginning of this year, we presented our zFAS Board at the Consumer Electronics Show trade fair in Las Vegas.
This new control system combines all driver assistance systems with minimal space requirements in the car – it is as small as a tablet computer.
Why have I brought up this topic again? Because in addition to technical aspects, we have always emphasized that a legal basis must be created. For a few weeks now, round-table talks have been held between manufacturers, associations, insurers and the relevant federal ministries. We welcome this initiative and are actively involved in it. It is already clear that it will be a mammoth task, because various laws will be fundamentally affected – some of them 50 years old. But our attitude is clear: There is no dodging this issue. Because anyone who wants to be the number one – as we do – has to look beyond the limits of his own company. Thinking about the future means thinking out of the box. And it does not matter whether with helping to shape the framework conditions, the internationalization of our company, groundbreaking technology, or fascinating Audi models – we play to win in all events! Thank you.

CMA ambassadors call Big E trip a success (with gallery)
ACADIA OF THE LANDS AND FORESTS/West Springfield, Mass. – A group representing the Maine Regional Coordinating Committee of the World Acadian Congress returned from a successful trip to the Big E last weekend to promote the upcoming Congrès.
The Big E New England state fair, which people also know as the Eastern States Exposition, is the largest agricultural event on the eastern seaboard and the sixth largest fair in the nation. According to CMA Co-President George Dumond, the trip allowed the group to promote the World Acadian Congress to a large number of people in a short period of time. He said, "We're trying to target areas in Central and Southern Maine, but also Massachusetts, New Hampshire, and Connecticut."
On Saturday, September 28, the crew of twelve set up a booth in the Maine building as part of the Maine Day celebration.
Maine Governor Paul LePage joined them for part of the day.
They brought to the event a beautiful display, a giant Acadian flag, and grosse tetes, the large colorful heads that are iconic symbols of the Acadian people.
The grosse tetes captured the attention of many people, and the fair organizers had a request. Dumond said, "We ended up in the closing day parade."
As the thousands of people attending the fair saw the booth, Dumond said he and his crew would invite people into conversations about their heritage. Dumond said, "We were looking to engage Acadians."
As people spoke to the enthusiastic crew from northern Maine, Dumond and the others would attempt to speak to the members of the crowd about their family tree. Dumond said, "We met a lot of people with last names that were Acadian. I'd say, "Congratulations, you are a proud Acadian.""
He said, "We met many who knew they were Acadian, but did not know about the CMA."
The group, which consisted of George Dumond, Lorraine Pelletier, Dick Marston, Darey and Mary Gagnon, Romeo and Diane Parent, Pat Ezzy, Lydia Martin, Melanie-Eve Bourque, and Kelly Martin, were able to spread the word to many people. Kelly Martin said, "When people found out about their French descent, they would get so excited."
The main message Dumond and his crew wanted to pass to the crowds was that Le Congrès Mondial Acadien in August of 2014 would be a month of celebrations, family reunions and cultural discovery for all who attend.
The core message, said Dumond, was "You need to check this out."
The Acadian World Congress, or Le Congrès Mondial Acadien, is a festival of Acadian and Cajun culture and history, held every five years.
(Editor's note - In a previous version of this story, we incorrectly identified Romeo and Diane Parent as Romeo and Linda Cyr. We strive for accuracy in our reporting and regret any confusion this may have caused.)

Tributes: Andrew Sarris
Friday, June 22, 2012
Film critics may seem almost interchangeable these days, but that was never the case with Andres Sarris. First, at The Village Voice, and then at The New York Observer, he championed auteur directors like Truffaut, Ophuls, Godard, Bergman, and Kurosawa – with style and an acerbic edge. We were lucky to have had him on as a guest over the years, before his recent death at the age of 83. And you can hear a 1992 and a 1998 interview with Leonard now.

Okla. Senator says tornado aid should be paid for
Tuesday - 5/21/2013, 1:30pm EDT
Associated Press
WASHINGTON (AP) -- Conservative Oklahoma Sen. Tom Coburn says that any additional federal aid to help tornado victims and to rebuild devastated areas of his state should be financed with cuts to other programs in the government's $3.6 trillion budget.
Spokesman John Hart says it's a position Coburn has consistently held regarding federal spending on disasters dating to the 1995 bombing of a federal building in Oklahoma City.
But federal disaster aid such as $60 billion passed earlier this year to rebuild coastal states including New York and New Jersey from Superstorm Sandy typically is approved as "emergency" spending that is simply added to the budget deficit. That may happen again if more aid is need for Oklahoma.
Federal disaster aid coffers remain flush from the infusion of Sandy aid.

The Department of Commerce's National Telecommunication and Information Administration announces the launching of the Wireless Innovations in Communications Initiative (WICI). One of the objectives of this initiative is to promote innovative developments in communications technologies and facilitate their timely application to satisfy actual communication needs in both the Federal agencies and the private sector. The scope of this initiative extends across the full range of wireless communications technologies, including fixed, mobile, radars, navigation, and satellite communications. The approach planned for conducting WICI is to establish a committee (WICI Committee) within the Interdepartment Radio Advisory Committee (IRAC) comprised of senior experts in the Federal government who understand their agency's present and future radiocommunication requirements and can envision the potential applicability of new technologies. The WICI Committee will schedule a series of meetings in which representatives from Federal agencies will discuss their communications requirements. Subsequently, developers of communications innovations will present their ideas of how to satisfy the Federal agencies' requirements.
Federal agencies, considered collectively, are among the largest users of communications services in the United States. Although many of these services are provided by commercial providers through government contracts, the Federal government continues to own and operate significant communication facilities that perform certain mission-critical functions. Federal agencies use the radio spectrum to operate the wireless portions of these Government-operated communications facilities. Because of the growing public and private sector requirements for use the spectrum, there is an urgent need to ensure that this limited national resource is used effectively and efficiently. WICI is intended to promote the development of innovations in wireless communications and systematically examine their applicability to actual communications requirements.
The basis of wireless communications is the use of radio frequencies. NTIA manages the use of the radio frequency spectrum by Federal agencies to satisfy their radiocommunication requirements. To implement this initiative, NTIA plans to establish a committee (WICI Committee) within the Interdepartment Radio Advisory Committee (IRAC) comprised of senior experts in the Federal government who understand their agency's present and future radiocommunication requirements and can envision the potential applicability of new technologies. The WICI Committee will work with private sector industry representatives to identify wireless communications innovations and new spectrum management approaches that will enable Federal agency users to satisfy their communications needs more effectively and efficiently, and to encourage private sector innovation and greater public/private cooperation.
The term "wireless communications" is used here in a broad sense encompass a full range of wireless communications that are conducted without the use of wires, cables, or glass fibers. This initiative will focus on both the applicability of identified communications innovations and on the barriers, if any, to their implementation.
As now envisioned the WICI Committee will address the following types of radiocommunication services in a series of meetings.
(1) Land MobileMeeting dates and agendas for these meetings will be posted on the NTIA web page at http://www.ntia.doc.gov. In addition, a listserver will be established to further promote the exchange of information between Federal agency representatives and the developers of communications innovations.
(2) Radionavigation
(3) Satellite Communications
(4) Radiolocation
(5) Telemetry
(6) Fixed
(7) Other services.
Requests from interested Industry Representatives to: (1) participate
in WICI Committee meetings where Federal agency communications requirements
are presented; and (2) make presentations of communications innovations
at the Committee meetings (include the type(s) of radiocommunication services
from the list above that you intend to brief), should be directed to
NTIA, U.S. Department of Commerce
Room 4099, 1401 Constitution Avenue, N.W.
Washington, D.C. 20230
by March 28, 2000. The WICI Committee will schedule appointments for presentation or briefings at times and locations mutually convenient for the Committee and interested Industry Representatives. For further information regarding this initiative, please contact Mr. Derrick Owens, Office of the Assistant Secretary, NTIA, 202/482-0156.

Instead of being cancelled why wasn't ENT moved to SciFi?

oh yes I did
Location: hither and yon
Re: Instead of being cancelled why wasn't ENT moved to SciFi?
So, maybe I didn't make it clear upthread. Conduct discussion of the new movie in the appropriate forum, please, or I will have to either move this thread or close it down. Considering the weird hybrid "1/2 about the topic at hand and 1/2 off-topic arguing about the new movie" this thread has become, I would probably have to close it. I still think there is discussion to be had here and people do seem interested in the actual topic, so please keep it on said topic, okay? Thank you, that is all.
Thank god for weird people.

I've had a great season racing Enduro and managed to get some results i'm really proud of in the UK events. (Even with missing a big chunk of the season with a broken wrist! ) Competing in the Lousa Fox Enduro in Portugal and the EWS round in Finale Ligure, Italy have been my highlights of my year. I'd really like to thank Delta Bikes based in Dursley, Gloucestershire for their constant support, and service! And to everyone Mojo Suspension; there is no doubt that having the best Fox suspension and seatpost available has contributed to my racing this year!

Check out Mojo Suspension's Op's manager Tim Williams on a flying run of Wibbly Wobbly into Rim Dinger! To say he's stoked with the new 36 fork would be an understatement! It's lighter and stiffer than his old 34 (even with the clamped 15mm axle option), it has RC2 damping and has a new super-smooth air spring system which when allied to the new lower friction seals and Kashima surface make the bumps simply disappear! The fastest, gnarliest Mojo sponsored trail at BPW – it's fitting that the KOM should be secured with the new Fox 36! Available from July – the 36 returns!

SIBU: The DAP won the Sibu parliamentary by-election Sunday, when its candidate Wong Ho Leng won the three-cornered fight with a 398-majority vote.
Wong, who is also Bukit Assek state assemblyman, garnered 18,845 votes against Barisan National's Robert Lau Hui Yew, who polled 18,447 votes while independent Narawi Haron only received 232 votes.
A total of 37,919 or 70% of the 54,695 registered voters cast their ballots at 45 polling stations.
The by-election was the second held in Sarawak over the span of one year. In April last year, Barisan retained the Batang Ai state seat in a straight fight with PKR.
The Sibu by-election was called following the death of five-time MP and Deputy Transport Minister Datuk Robert Lau Hoi Chew on April 9.
In the March 2008 general election, Hoi Chew won with a 3,235-vote majority to retain the mainly Chinese urban seat in a three-cornered fight beating Wong and Lim Chin Chuang of PKR. He obtained 19,138 votes against Wong's 15,903 and Lim's 812. - Bernama
The following is the timeline:
11pm: DAP's Wong Ho Leng won the by-election by 398 votes, garnering 18,845 votes to beat BN's Robert Lau Hui Yew (18,447). Independent Narawi Haron polled 232 votes.
10.45pm: There is no recount of votes, says the state Election director. The dispute is over the validity of witnesses' signature for postal votes. The matter is being resolved now.
10pm: All 110 boxes counted, but 2,537 postal votes cast not tallied yet.
Independent 196
9.20pm: DAP has claimed victory in the by-election, although the official result has not been announced by the Election Commission.
Party adviser Lim Kit Siang tweeted that the party had achieved the "Sibu Miracle" but stopped short of claiming victory.
"Majority prob v narrow but its Sibu Miracle if true. Will not update further as results incomplete. Keep fingers crossed n pray," Lim tweeted.
However, DAP's Jelutong MP Jeff Ooi was nmore forthright and claimed: "DAP wins Sibu".
At the Sibu Civic Centre, where tallying is going on and the official results expected to be announced within the next hour, there were hardly any BN leaders present.
8.45pm: Official results - 95 out of 110 boxes counted
8.15pm: Official results - 80 out of 110 boxes counted
Independent 127
7pm: Two hours after the closing of voting and with about 45% of votes counted, the result is still too narrow to call, although DAP's Wong Ho Leng has a slight edge.
After 57 boxes were counted, Ho Leng had a lead of around 900 votes as the urban ballot boxes are being counted. Earlier he was trailing by almost 2,000 votes when the rural votes were being counted.
However, both sides are refraining from making any claims as there are 53 boxes yet to be counted.
SUPP national organising secretary Datuk Peter Chun and State DAP publicity chief David Wong said it was a neck-and-neck race.
The low voter turnout has also disappointed both sides and the two parties accept that most of those who did not vote were Chinese.
Sibu SUPP chief Datuk Wong Soon Koh said floods caused by the Rejang River resulted in many voters not coming out.
All eyes are now on the postal votes and the ballot boxes from the Malay-dominated Kampung Bandung area.
6.40pm: Following is the voter turnout statistics at 5pm.
Total number of registered voters: 54,695
Number of voters who cast ballots: 32,742
Voter turnout: 59.86%
6pm: Election Commission chairman Tan Sri Abdul Aziz Mohd Yusof said he was not satisfied with the lower voter turnout, which was lower than the 67% recorded in the 2008 general election.
Out of the 45 polling centres opened to facilitate the polling process, 10 closed at 1pm, five at 2pm, six at 3pm, two at 4pm and the remaining 22 at 5pm.
The vote counting process is currently underway and the tallying will be done at the Sibu Civic Centre here. The result is expected to be known by 9pm.
Sibu police chief ACP Shafie Ismail said polling went smoothly except for a minor incidents of heckling among supporters of the contesting parties.
5.45pm: Despite early indications that SUPP was leading after suburban votes had been counted, Barisan leaders refused to make early conclusions and say votes from the polling stations inside the town vicinity will be decisive.
5.15pm: Sibu SUPP publicity chief Daniel Ngieng said the Chinese voter turnout overall was below what Barisan had expected.
5pm: Polling has closed and the turnout is lower than expected.
4.45pm: At 4pm, 56.9% or 31,119 of the registered voters had cast their ballots, according to the Election Commission.
4.30pm: Balloting will end in 30 minutess. Both SUPP and DAP leaders remain tense, indicating a close finish is on the cards. SUPP president Tan Sri Dr George Chan says there is just a bit more to go and he is hopeful of victory.
3.50pm: At 3pm, 53.02% or a total of 29,000 of the registered voters had cast their votes, according to the Election Commission.
2.45pm: Voter turnout as at 2pm was 46.3%, and the EC's target of 80% turnout looks possible as rain not expected until late evening.
1.40pm: At 1pm, 42pc or more than 23,000 voters had cast their ballots
11.51am: SUPP organising secretary Datuk Seri Peter Chin says voter turnout in town centre polling station is still low and is urging voters to cast their ballots early
11.30am: Voter turnout at 11am is 28.83% but turnout is expected to increase after church services after noon. Meanwhile Bernama reported Election Commission (EC) deputy chairman Datuk Wan Ahmad Wan Omar as saying that "the casting of votes has proceeded smoothly so far. We have not received any reports of untoward incidents."
11.00am: Crowd of voters turn up at Malay-majority Kampung Bandung polling district. Strong opposition presence along the roads leading to Dewan Kelab Melayu polling station. Umno VP Safie Apdal arrived at 10.50am with Barisan supporters and left after greeting voters.
10.30am: Voter turnout by 10am was 20%
10.10am: Independent candidate Narawi Haron arrives at SK Ulu Sg Merah, KM 14 Oya Road
10.00am: Crowd at the political hotspot Rajang Park gets bigger as more voters gather to cast their ballots at SJK Taman Rajang and Tadika Taman Rajang polling stations. Rajang is a DAP stronghold.
9.12am: DAP candidate Wong Ho Leng casts his vote at Guong Ann primary school. He is accompanied by his wife Irene Chang and eldest daughter.
9.05am: Barisan candidate Robert Lau arrives with his wife Alice to SMK Rosli Dhoby polling station at Sg Antu polling district to cast her ballot. Robert Lau is not a voter in the Sibu constituency. He is registered in the neighbouring Lanang district.
8.15am: Polls get off to a slow but smooth start. The crowd is expected to increase after morning church services.
8.00am: Polling centres open
7.40am: Early birds come trickling in to avoid long queues later in the day.
SIBU: A total of 52,158 voters are due to choose their new member of parliament in the Sibu parliamentary by-election Sunday in this predominantly Chinese constituency.
Another 2,537 postal voters, comprising 1,910 military and 627 police personnel, had cast their ballots on Thursday and Friday at the Rascom and Oya army camps as well as the Police District Headquarters, here.
Altogether 45 polling stations, with 110 streams, will be opened at 39 schools, two kindergartens and a training centre, a longhouse, a public library and a public recreational centre to facilitate polling.
Voters have been asked to turn up in full force when the stations open at 8am to mark their choice of candidates - the Barisan Nasional's (BN) Robert Lau Hui Yew, the DAP's Wong Ho Leng, who is also Bukit Assek state assemblyman, or independent, Narawi Haron.
Hui Yew, who is defending the predominantly Chinese urban seat for the Barisan following the death of Deputy Transport Minister and five-term Sibu MP Datuk Robert Lau Hoi Chew on April 9, is scheduled to cast his vote at the SMK Rosli Dhoby polling centre here at about 9am while Wong will be voting at SJKC Goung Ann.
The result of the three-cornered fight is expected to be announced by the Election Commission (EC) at the Sibu Civic Centre here at the latest by 9 pm.
The EC has also assured that the polling process will proceed smoothly as security has been tightened with the reinforcement of police personnel since nomination day last Saturday.
Meanwhile, the Sarawak Meterological Department has forecast fair weather with the possibility of isolated showers in Sibu on Sunday, which should augur well for the polling process.
In the 2008 general election, Hoi Chew retained the Sibu seat with a 3,549-vote majority, beating Ho Leng and Lim Chin Chuang of Parti Keadilan Rakyat (PKR) in a three-cornered tussle.
According to the electoral roll, updated as of April 9 this year, Chinese voters make up almost 67% of the total number of voters, followed by Malay/Melanau (10.5%) and Sarawak bumiputeras (22%).

The standstill of BEST bus services that serves over 4 million commuters has gravely affected the city. BEST employees were forced to extreme actions, defying even the Bombay High Court, in protest of the new computerised scheduling system, which was to be introduced as a cost-effective measure.
Mumbaikars who were at the receiving end of this conflict, shared their views on how one of Mumbai's oldest services could make an extra buck without inconveniencing everyday commuters.
Absolute digitisation of ticketing system
Even though electronic ticket machines have already been introduced, some citizens suggested replacing conductors with swipe machines.
Pranav Curumsey tweeted, "a 100% card swipe system could be introduced where one can swipe in and out from next to the driver."
@mahafreed sack all the conductors, move to a 100% card system where you swipe in & out from next to driver.
— Pranav Curumsey (@Curumsey) April 2, 2014
Using technology could be cheaper and a good time saver. But while this could help BEST save on salaries, on the downside it will lead to substantial unemployment.
Making BEST more tourist friendly
Another suggestion was to make the BEST buses more tourist friendly much like those abroad.
Twitter user @PlumperNickel suggested, "Ads/Billboards, fare-hike and adding hop-on hop-off routes could help."
@mahafreed ADs/ billboards on buses, increase fare, Add hop on hop off tourist routes
— Plumper Nickel (@plumpernickel) April 2, 2014
Introducing tourist day passes and special route tickets could prove to be profitable, especially considering how popular a tourist destination Mumbai is.
Another commuter also suggested that "common ticket" which was previously available be reintroduced. Such a ticket would allow commuters to travel in any bus for a period of 24 hours. This ticket would cost more than other tickets and could be a good source of revenue.
Vendors and vending machines
Other suggestions included, allowing licenced vendors on board or setting snack vending machines. Akhilesh Bagri a student commuter from Western Mumbai, said, "BEST commuters are usually office and school goers who are tired and hungry. An on-the-way snack would surely be great for them".
Marketing and promotional freebies
Advertising and marketing on BEST buses could extend to allowing consumer interaction on board. Bagri points out, "Freebie distribution as advertising on buses and candy or snack vendors could be allowed to sell on board. BEST could surely get more advertisers as this has never been done earlier but exists on other city transport buses in the country".
Routing and Re-routing
Citizens felt that BEST could extend its existing routes to include newer frontiers.
"Newer routes could be introduced and also the not-so-widely-used routes could be cancelled," said Thomas Pious a regular office commuter from Central Mumbai who expressed difficulty in travelling as he has to take two different buses to reach office everyday.
These are, of course, only a few suggestions that could potentially help the failing public transport facility.
