Re: [AI] Making Mumbai a disability friendly City
Dear Sagar, I appreciate your concern for the field. What do you do and how do you wish to have an impact on the real-world mobility for disables? I've just been part of the wonderful attempt by few established technical guys to make bus travel accessible for blind. And it's been wonderful. Let's take this forward. We should gang up for this. @Dhananjay sir, You could brief all of us on plans by Maharashtra town planning authorities and most importantly action taken so far to make Mumbai-Pune and Maharashtra accessible for us? I was in loggerhead with State Transport Mahamandal for making concessional tickets available through online booking as they also use the same number given on the ST concessional card. But to no avail. Regards Ekinath Khedekar On 4/16/15, Dhananjay Bhole dhananjay.bh...@gmail.com wrote: Dear Sagar, I am accessibility consultant to government of Maharashtra.
