Bangalore Analysis public transport metro multimodal trnapsort
As we have seen Ph-1 of Metro open to public without any consideration for multimodal integration, other end slowly suburban rail taking traction, People are using over crowded Metro with poor integration to change over from one mode of publci transport system to other.
Even we do not have single mobility card for Bangalore urban transport.
Now we are seeing how mess is Ph-2 of Bangalore metro on station location and integration.
Even citizens voice not been given thought by either BMRCL or GOK inspite of bringing to every one notice. FOr whose purpose, these public transport insfrastructure are bulit without haveing any scant consideration for integration.
Can Citizens of Bangalore who are suppose better educated, still have to be at mercy of GOK and BMRCL on these :

KR Puram and Whitefield Integration

Sanjeev, since purple line is integrated at KSR and Byappanahalli, again integrating at KR Puram and Whitefield is not needed as purple line would just become an alternative to Kengeri - Whitefield suburban rail network. This would also might lead to deviating Metro network from main public spaces and offices. One Metro line integrating with IR line at one or two points should be good enough. As the trains from Whitefield and KR Puram will also stop at Byappanahalli.
Cantonment integration is a must since the Red Line does not integrate with IR anywhere.
We would need Yellow Line integration near Chandapura as this too does not touch any line.

For Mass Public Transport, every location is an opportunity

At Cantonment Raiwlay Station, Metro will be easily integrated.
At KSR, its not at all integrated. At Baiyyappanhalli, its done on Kasturinagar side, on OMR its ur own risk to cross road
At KR Puram, integration with Railways, BMTC, KSRTC and Silk Board Line. Imagine, people coming by bus from Kolar, how will they access from KR Puram Bridge which they have to walk for 1 kms without proper things. How will railway passengers will access the Metro of both lines
At Whitefield, its Suburban Rail and Intercity commuters. Also residents arround Station who have t ocross tracks and access metro.
Where r the plans with BMRCL even if its claiming they r planning.
Do they mean after Final Metro construction over, they intended to do ???

I had a word with my employer today about the lack of connectivity. We would approach BMTC in an informal way to get the issue sorted out.
Bus connectivity to Frazer Town, Benson Town, Cookes Town, Cox Town, Murphy Town, Richards Town has always been bad.
The BMTC still seems to be stuck in the pre independence era and probably believes that White Sahibs still inhabit these areas.
Less said about connectivity after 7:00 PM in the evening. A robust public transport system 24*7 is a must for any metropolis.
Bombay was considered to be a safe city because of easy availability of trains till 2:00 AM. Women were known to take the last train back home. Unfortunately, today that is not the case in Mumbai as well.
