Information on whitefield metro station location

Yadhu - 12-AUG-2013

Hello,

Can someone help me in identifying the location of Whitefield metro station?

The current location of the BMTC terminal station falls on the west side of the railway line, while all the residential apartments/houses fall on otherside of railway line. This problem along with the absence of foot over bridge is causing lot accidents and problems.

CRS - Metro Integration

Vasanth - 5-JUL-2013

It is a good news about the approval of Bangalore Suburban Services known as Namma Railu in our Praja Discussions.

Metro and CRS instead of competing each other as discussed, how could we make it complementary to each other? This needs proper integration of Metro Stations with SWR Stations wherever Possible giving a commuter seamless travel.

V and U needed for metro?

Hindu today carried a front page news item about the metro allignment on the Byp PH II extension to Whitefield. It was more a report based on renewed outcry from certain sections of public..below is the map of contention from the paper:

Underpass/Sub Ways/Flyovers @ Namma Metro junctions

kamalakar pandit - 23-APR-2013

Sir,

It will be great if BMRCL/BBMP/BDA all co-ordinate and try to build underpass/sub ways or flyovers - where ever the metro passes through major intersections. It will surely ease the traffic congestion at the surface level.

Metro Ph I gets 800 cr more from France!?

Rain Water Harvesting on Namma Metro

mp - 19-JUL-2011

Driving along the RV Road, I noticed that many of the Namma Metro Pillars now had largish drain pipes jutting out at the bottom, presumably to allow rain water from the tracks above and possibly the stations to join the city SWD system. Curious to know if anybody has evaluated the feasibility of rain water harvesting as a mandatory requirement for Namma Metro? It is still not too late.

Namma Metro refreshingly different ?

Bengloorappa - 18-MAY-2011

Just happened to see the inner view of MG Road station in the BMRCL newsletter. (I cannot paste a link to it so have to embed it. Image Courtesy: BMRCL).

It looks refreshingly devoid of commercial jazz and has a soothing feeling to it compared to other Metro railways all over the world. 

Namma Metro Smart Card - too few top-up choices ?

Bengloorappa - 26-APR-2011

Have been reading through the Tender posted by BMRCL on their website inviting tenders from Mobile operators to setup and maintain a top-up system similar to the prepaid top-up system http://bmrc.co.in/pdf/tenders/etopupof%20smart%20cards.pdf
