Bengaluru Bus Stories","description":"Carrying the people and pulse of a city. Bengaluru Bus Stories is a conversation on how public transport weaves lives together by connecting neighbourhoods, opportunities, and communities across the city. Drawing from&amp;nbsp;EQUIMOB, an international research collaboration between the Institute for Social and Economic Change, Utrecht University, Bangalore Bus Prayaanikara Vedike, and SAMVADA, the discussion explores how buses shape daily life, build connections, and remain vital to the city\u2019s social fabric. Moderated by Dr. Ranjana Raghunathan of Vidyashilp University, the panel brings together researchers and activists reflecting on their work with commuters and policymakers, reimagining Bengaluru\u2019s buses as true lifelines that are designed with care, inclusion, and dignity at the core. In this episode of BIC Talks, Shaheen Shasa, Sobin George and&amp;nbsp;Prajwal Nagesh are in a conversation with&amp;nbsp;Ranjana Raghunathan. This is an excerpt from a conversation that took place in the BIC premises in Oct 2025. Subscribe to the BIC Talks Podcast on your favourite podcast app!
