Namma Metro

Namma Metro Coach

In 2009 Most Of my Delhi visits used o be minimum for a weeks  plan . To avoid travelling Taxi I always used to book Hotel close to a metro station . So all my Business meetings would have been planned in such a way that , I will find the nearest metro station of the place where I have to reach and from there take a Auto to reach the last mile .

It was a great convince to me using a Strong public transport like metro .

Bangalore city Saw a first metro train from Baippanahalli to MG Road , I was literally jumping thinking that it will be similar to Delhi experience . But from the time to Reach 1 to complete the purple line it took almost 6 years ( By that time I got married and a kid of 3 years ) .

But nevertheless Bangalore citizens felt lot of  difference in travelling Namma Metro .

Imagine a person travelling from Vijay Nagar to Indiranagar had to change to Buses and spend at least
90 minutes . now the same distance is covered in 20 minutes approximately .

Lot of IT crowd is using Namma Metro to reach ITPL , Marathahalli areas . Corporate companies are giving drop services to Biyappanhalli station .

BMTC has started bus feeder bus services .

But last but not the least there is no last mile connectivity to the metro stations . Delhi metro has seen a big success because of this .

Though one private company is providing the Rented mopeds , but that will not address the issues .

Will write more interesting facts about Namma metro in my next blogs .....
