Metro: Line 3??

10/09/08 09:14 - srivatsava

The metro line from EC to Whitefield has been approved by the state government. Does anyone know what is the alignment of the line? It is still not available at the BMRC site. And the monorail map on BMRC website is most illegible. I would love to see where the new line connects to the planned two line?? -Srivatsava

If we really think about it, traffic management boils down to efficient 'space' management. How best do you manage the utilisation of a finite commodity like space on the streets? All measures taken or discussed to de-congest, improve, smoothen traffic by advocating lane discipline, platooning, sync signal lights, parking, foot paths, lesser private vehicles, efficient public transport, car pooling etc boils down to this. MANAGE AVAILABLE ROAD SPACE.

Freeways are Freeways and City Roads are City Roads, there is no confusion about that.

By definition a Freeway is - FREE - of pedestrians / cyclists and T or cross junctions. Our planners have never either understood this or did not care or had ulterior motives.
