A knowledge-sharing session from ‘Busina Kathegalu’ (Bengaluru’s Bus Stories) initiative

A knowledge-sharing session from ‘Busina Kathegalu’ (Bengaluru’s Bus Stories) was organised on 7th March 2022. ‘Busina Kathegalu’ is a collaborative effort of EQUIMOB, Institute for Social and Economic Change (ISEC), SAMVADA, and Bengaluru Bus Prayanikara Vedike to catalog the perspectives of both Bengaluru’s bus users and the service providers (BMTC) on what the bus system means to their lives.

This session served as an opportunity for the field investigators to share preliminary findings from their recently concluded fieldwork in Bengaluru. The interns presented their experiences of traveling and researching in buses of Bengaluru collecting stories. This event provided reflections on both move-along methods and the practice of using stories to elicit experiences of mobilities.
