Status of City Station Pedestrian facility works progress
Sanjeev - 14 May, 2014 - 18:45
Status of Pedestrian facility at Bangalore City Station during last 5 years on 1. New Foot Over Bridge connecting all 10 Platforms on Cantonment end ( Chennai end ), 2. Extending existing FOB to Milk colony with wider FOB, 3. Extending subway from PF-1 to entrance of city station. Here is the status of all three works from SWR, after 4/5 years, SWR struggling to complet these simple works like BMRC struggling for MG road Station skywalk to connect plaza theater side since 3 years. Wake up SWR Bangalore, these are very much needed for passengers. How can SWR sleep on these during last 4 years where Railway Board has given clearance and funds too. No one to blame here except SWR officials only.
Already Bangalore is lacking proper pedestrain facility, even railways are also playing to BBMP / BDA actions.

Getting to the bus stand from the railway station is an ordeal. The sub way is really bad. On so many occasions I have been forced to take the bus to Kengeri because of the stench of the sub way.

SWR is have not yet firmed on the expansion of city station after shifting of Pit lines after PF10.
