Bangalore needs commuter rail

"Commuter rail more economically viable than the rapid-transit metro network'

Namma Metro refreshingly different ?

Going through the minutes of the meeting for "Namma Railu Round Table Event at Cistup, IISc" last August 30, 2010, one get an interesting insight into mind and thinking of Railways. In this case, railways is represented by Bengaluru Division of South Western Railway.

The buzz about buses
