Dear Sir,

BMTC Strike - what have we learnt?

idontspam - 13-SEP-2012

Public Transport in Bangalore today means Bus which is solely run by BMTC. During business as usual this looks good but its in crisis situations like todays strike that the deficit of not investing in multiple modes or using modern methodologies of running operations can hurt.

What is the truth of Narayanpura Metro Station ?

kbsyed61 - 12-JUN-2012

On Metro's R1 Extension from Biappanhalli to Whitefield, about 14 metro stations are being proposed and Naryanpura station is one among them.

Hi People look at this, can we do something about it? Why do we need to wait for years to get an approval while other states get everything so easily? Can we file an RTI?

First ride on Namma Metro

s_yajaman - 16-MAY-2012

Have been out of Bangalore for the past 2 years.  My last long visit was in June 2011.  Namma Metro opened after that.  Am here this week and so decided to try it out with the family (we are all patrons of public transport).  

Phase-2 - East not connected

Naveen - 6-JAN-2012

The routes chosen under phase-2 for Namma Metro are pretty good, no doubt. However, the east (except for Whitefield) will remain largely unconnected. This will surely get corrected in future phase/s.

Metro PH 2 routes optimal?

From DH today:

BIAL Rail Connect - Alternate/s

Naveen - 1-JAN-2012

The International Airport at Devanahalli has been operational for well over two years now. Already, there are huge developments all along the road to Devanahalli. The recent reports also suggest that air traffic has grown substantially - expansion plans of BIAL are already underway.

Metro Underground - Who Is Gaining the Expertise?

pdk - 19-NOV-2011

Came across this report in DH:  Metro’s Phase-I unlikely to meet deadline.  From June 2012, to December 2013, to March 2014 and now December 2014, though Mr Sreehari admits anything before mid-2015 is a pipedream.
