More importantly inspite of being informed by Vijayan Menon if they are not bothered to even be aware of CRS they are keeping wrong company & are clearly not going to be doing the right things for Bangalore.
There is a mention of sub-urban rail!

IDS, Vijayan,
There is a mention of suburban rail in the report - Sec 12.3.1, Page# 36.

The Namma Railu - BPAC connection (or disconnection)

A delegation of 'corporate experts' went to Delhi recently to ask for more money for the Metro. See this news report. Half of the delegation comprised key members of BPAC. They don't seem to be even aware that there is a far cheaper and quicker solution in the CRS.
If the State and Central government listens to these people, maybe it makes sense to meet the BPAC people and educate them about CRS ?
Many of them have been apprised!

@das,
At indvidual level many of them have been apprised about the Namma Railu proposal through formal or informal meetings, emails, petitions etc.
Agree, there is no harm in meeting them once more to carry them along for greater good.

CRS : Dismissed in 1 short line

The sum total of mention of CRS : "Sub-urban commuter rail system to link up surrounding towns", with a map on page 87.
Obviously someone hasn't got the point, that the CRS is for intra-city transport as well as to 'link up surrounding towns', and is a far cheaper and faster to implement alternative to the Metro.
As against this, note the elaborate handling of the 'High speed travel corridor' in 12.3.3.
I also noticed that 12.3.1 says "Metro connectivity (Phase 1, 2 and 3) to cover over 250 kms by 2020 in Bengaluru". 45 km. in 10 years, 205 km.(costing Rs. 40,000 Cr.) in just 6 years ?
