Bangalore Namma Metro Citizen Reports Tracking Transportation public transport BMRCL Metro Rail Phase1
Objective tracking of namma metro from the data accumulated from the newsletter given out by BMRCL from feb 2009 upto july 2009 for reach-1. This will clearly give us trends on the progress of namma metro. I intend to update this data as and when new data is available. Here are the graphs.
Overall the reach-1 seems to chugging along to meet the december 2010 deadline. Also there is news that underground section has been awarded.

More details on Deccan Chronicle today. Again picture shown below is nice. They have been showing pictures for long now ;)
Note: Showing picture (Slang Kannada : ಪಿಕ್ಚರ್ ತೋರ್ಸೋದು ) means showing a lucerative future falsely, just to keep attraction on.

The Palike plans to fill all potholes, beautify pavements, create a litter-free zone and develop greenery at all the junctions along the Reach-1 of the Metro rail.
more here
BBMP might go ahead with doing some tactical projects to get the roads ready before metro opens but they should really not loose track on the long term..cos we all know..the pot hole filling exercise is very temporary..
The actual plan of involving BMRCL to clean up their work by putting up white topping of the road along the entire stretch of 8 Kms should be done asap..
Reach 1 Tracker finally comes to close

Reach 1 finally completed..
Thanks all for tracking and posting here, although with lesser activity in recent days.
Let us continue to track other reaches closely.

how about tracking what works and what doesn't in the reach 1? i would think such an analysis would help in tweaking the plans for other reaches.
i think over all, this is just the beginning. nothing major is going to change overnight. but in the long run, when a major chunk of the network is complete and when tweaks (such as feeders, co-ordination, services, and even adminstrative org etc.,) have been made to customize the whole service to Blr, this will change the face of blr. in the meanwhile i expect many of the earlier naysayers to chime in.
metro not in sight..but foto's nice!
