Metro Rail - A Bad Move?

There have been requests to start a Mangalore-Praja site. thaks to recent technical changes, we are now in a position to start one. But we need to assess if we have 10-15 votes of interest from folks who would be willing to make constructive posts on civic issues, and will be interested in taking matters beyond discussion later when memberships numbers reach good levels.

Bangalore bus stops to have shopping malls

This is what they said about Garuda Mall where a public parking lot was proposed. Today all you have is the Mall and it's private parking that's added to the congestion rather than alleviate it.
