Transit hub Yeshwantpur remains a pedestrian nightmare

More than a decade after being identified as a transit hub, Yeshwantpur remains a pedestrian’s nightmare as two crucial projects to connect the different modes of transportation have failed to take off.

In 2011, the Infrastructure Development Department recognised the potential of Yeshwantpur and planned an intermodal transit hub there.

A pre-feasibility report was submitted in March 2012 to plan for the transfer of pedestrians between trains, buses, taxis and personal vehicles. Two years later, Namma Metro began operations from the place.

However, connectivity between different modes of transport has remained a pipe dream despite repeated promises.
