Murali, blrsri, N, IDS and myself were there with Mr Madhu, spent about an hour with him, mostly listening to his thoughts. He seemed like a high energy guy.

Mr Madhu asked us to return in a couple of weeks with a report carrying all our ideas on CRS and an actionable way.

idontspam - 9-MAY-2010
Hebbal SWR station located in ward 20 adjacent to the ring road services wards 19, 20, 21 on the inside & ward 8 on the outside. The demographics of these wards lend itself to heavy public transport usage. Let us look at this station from a CRS standpoint The station itself is bare and clean. The reservation counters are empty but the station manager is helpful in printing tickets to those who ask. It has 2 platforms with tracks in the middle. Only the platform closest to the entrance is used by the YH1 CRS train. This is possibly to prevent crossing over from the other platform as you will have to walk on the tracks to cross over. Hebbal station looking towards Yeshwantpur
The entrance to the station is on the Ring road side. Ring road west (towards Yeshwantpur) from station entrance |
