Dear Prajagale,
I am sure, all of you must have seen an update from our friend Sanjeev on progress of Suburban Rail project. There is a likelihood that we could hear about the introduction of 1 or 2 services rolled out under this project proposal in next 2-3 months.
Considering the way how things are done in past by GOK, some of the Praja members have suggested to create a separate information portal on 'Bengaluru Suburban Rail', to disseminate information on existing suburban services (including long distance trains used for the local commute), project details, status updates, News, Proposed routes etc. I would like to take this opportunity to invite your support and suggestions for taking this endeavor forward.
To start with, please help us with,
- Your thoughts on this proposal to create this online portal. It's OK if you have any objections, pls say so and do not forget to put down a reason for the objections.
-
If majority agrees,
- what kind of information should this portal provide?
- What level of details it should have?
Here is the draft template for the Portal Home Page.
- Anybody who can help with site design specially the UI?
- Anybody who can help develop this site uisng the latest web technologies? Should support queries and database.
- Anybody who can help with graphics, animation and simulations?
- Anybody who can support with Kannada Version?
NOTE: Later when the project is in full swing, after the Phase-1A is launched, the site could be handed over to the SPV. The idea is to develop the site to become the official portal for BSRC like BMRC, BIAL etc.
Please respond by commenting on the discussion.

With few more services of Suburban rail added in Bangalore and with METRO integration ( suppose to be ) at Baiyyappanahalli & Yesvanthpur, FOB & escalators at Yesvantpur & Bangalore city, now we should update the details and release with new halt stations like Krishnadevaraya & Hoody as new suburban stations.

Dear syed bhai,
the site looks very nice. to have better last minute connectivity we can add bus routes nearest to each staton.
For ex. I stay @ sahakaranagar information about nearest station like Hebbal bus routes will be good. It's just my wild thought.
regards
kamal.

Delhi Metro Portal is like a full fledged Metro site. We can refer this.
There is a planner section here, which suggests which route to take. It would be nice if we integrate this with google transit upon full fledged operation.
Nice tracking website from Chennai suburban rail

Meera sent me this nice link to a Chennai suburban rail map. I think it is a demo, but it shows where the train is. It is based on schedules here and NOT based on actual position as far as I can make out.
