Bengaluru: Bridge the metro-bus-rail gaps
Lugging heavy baggage, commuters struggled for years to shift between the Yeswanthpura Metro and Railway Stations. Inter-modal connectivity was a joke as the Railways and Metro wrangled over a bridge that barely cost Rs 1 crore to build! A recent deal will finally connect the two, but is that all?
No, despite the Bangalore Metro Rail Corporation Limited (BMRCL)’s plan to link the nearby Sandal Soap Factory Metro Station with the Yeswanthpura bus terminal and the Indian Institute of Science (IISc). For, the connectivity gaps across the city between road, rail and Metro are far too many.
