Bengaluru – 560001

 

Sir,

                Subject – Petition for introducing Commuter Rail Service in Bengaluru

I, Khader B Syed, a Non-Resident citizen of Bengaluru City , hereby petition you for introducing the 'Commuter Rail Service' (CRS) in Bengaluru as proposed in the recently submitted RITES report to the Department of Urban Land Transport.

As you must be aware that, our city of Bengaluru has exhausted all other Mass Transit options to meet the growing size of the daily commuters. It is time we stem the growth of Bengaluru city and disperse it to adjoining towns of Mandya, Ramangaram, Dodadballapur, Chikballpur, Anekal, Malur, Hosur, and Bangarpet. The option of using Commuter Rail Service in Bengaluru will serve this purpose. As RITES has recorded in its report 'Implementation of Commuter Rail for Bengaluru, CRS if implemented in its entirety can take care of the Bengaluru's 50% transit load. Implementing CRS will be very economical compare to any other mass transit systems. With the CRS running in Bengaluru, every section of the society will benefit immensely. Commuter Rail will not only help decongest city roads but will also sprucing up of the railway infrastructure in the city and its surroundings.

Different sections of population will be benefit from the commuter rail service are:

• Factory Workers
• Students and Teachers
• Office/Business Employees
• IT Employees
• Health Care Employees
• Patients
• Merchants and Business Owners

Given this potential and urgent need for the commuter rail service, hereby I request you to start this service immediately. Introduction of this service will greatly help Bengaluru city in decongestion and providing relief to the commuters.

 

Thanking you and I remain,

Sincerely,

(Name)
