From half-done flyover to sustainable transit: Tramway for Inner Ring Road?

Can the half-done Ejipura flyover be repurposed to facilitate a much-longer tram project that can carry more people?

Indeed, public transport advocates are rooting for the tramway that could cover the 15-kilometre distance between Baiyyappanahalli and Central Silk Board along the Inner Ring Road.

The tramway, they say, will link two metro stations and a railway terminal. The suggestion comes in the wake of the BBMP’s failure for the fourth attempt to revive the 2.5-km flyover project between Ejipura and Kendriya Sadan.

The Rs 200-crore project, proposed in 2016, has been seen as a reason for Koramangala missing out on metro connectivity.
