Public Transport on NICE Peripherial Road

BMIC Bangalore NICE Road Works suggestion Transportation public transport Infrastructure

Now the government has cleared NICE project, peripheral road should be complete very soon and it will be clogged by Bangalore Cars + Trucks!!

Mr.Kheny had proposed a monorail on the median. Why not this be completed along with this with stations at Kanakapura Road junction, Bannerghatta Road Junction, Somapura Junction, Mysore Road Junction and Magadi Road Junction with final stations at Hesargatta Cross and Hosur Road.

If Government also goes ahead with Bannerghatta Mono quickly, people can travel on the Bannerghatta Mono upto Gottigere Lake and take the Mono on the NICE towards Hosur Road.

Mr.Kheny in a speech in Infosys had also stated that he would start bus service on the NICE road. Anyone from Infy can update more on this.

LRT should be a possible solution

LRT should be OK since it reduces the construction cost. Kheny and his team should parallely work on this before the road is open to the public since the construction would be difficult once road is thrown fully open.

There should be an option for park and ride facilities at the junctions with multistoried parkings.

This should be taken seriously by NICE since it doesn't take much time for the Bangaloreans car to clog their roads.

Bangalore Mysore road of NICE does not have the median, hence elevated rail is only possible here.

no to mono

The median on the peripheral road is one car lane width and this is enough for two tracks of LRT..may not be wide enough for Metro!

So instead of monorail..which is esentially train on stilts which is expensive and lower capacity..we can go in for LRT which is more affordable to implement!

nice exp way can have tracks

the above is the proposed layout plan for the mysore expressway..has a 15 mts median..which is good for tracks..

however we should leave the railways to do the track doubling and run trains there..NICE can restict to rail on peripheral road!

Existing NICE Bangalore-Mysore Road is not as per this plan

I have taken ride on the NICE BMIC road since it is nearby to home. In the website post they have given the image that blrsri has posted. In actual implementation, they have not left space on the median. It is just a cement slab divider.

Median

Vasanth, I think the image is for the yet to be built expressway as opposed to the Ring road that they have alreayd built. That is my understanding.
