How many more deaths we need before a pedestrian over bridge at Kadugodi?

Please do not extend Bangalore's trains to Mysore

Tejaswi KR - 18-JAN-2013

A humble request to the railways from me would be to refrain from extending trains of Bangalore to Mysore as the needs of the capital are manifold greater than the heritage city. If need be, new trains can be introduced from Mysore to different places, but let the trains of Bangalore be left alone.

Bangalore - Mysore Track Doubling & Electrification - when?

eralilebby - 3-OCT-2012

I regularly commute between Mysore and Bangalore both by Road and Rail. While it takes roughly between 3 to 4 hours by road depending upon the time and traffic, train takes between 2 to 3 hours even with the tracks being only partially doubled. So the need of the hour is to fast track the doubling and electrification of this section to bring down the travel time between 1&1/2 to 2 hours.
