Railway Board has main responsibility to build MEMU shed and allocate rakes for MEMU on priority for Bangalore / SWR.

Good move by the state government.

The state government has opened an organisation called BANGALORE SUBURBAN RAIL COMPANY LIMITED to expedite the work on sub urban rail to Bangalore which is cost effective and can be completed by priority as flowers vegetables and all the daily needs come from the outskirts of Bangalore. We must thaank the state government in this issue. The company will act as a catalyst between the state and the central government. The cost of the sub urban rail is estimated at around Rs.8000 crore which may be escalated upto Rs.10000 crore because in the delay of starting the project. The project must be started in phase manner and it must be first implemented from doddaballapur to bangalore where many of the daily needs come from. As we have many trains running between mysore and bangalore that can be taken in the second phase. If it is taken in the phased manner the project will be successfull in all means.
