Rain Water Harvesting on Namma Metro

19 July 2011 - 10:02am — mp

Driving along the RV Road, I noticed that many of the Namma Metro Pillars now had largish drain pipes jutting out at the bottom, presumably to allow rain water from the tracks above and possibly the stations to join the city SWD system. Curious to know if anybody has evaluated the feasibility of rain water harvesting as a mandatory requirement for Namma Metro? It is still not too late.

Namma Metro refreshingly different ?

Just happened to see the inner view of MG Road station in the BMRCL newsletter. (I cannot paste a link to it so have to embed it. Image Courtesy: BMRCL).

It looks refreshingly devoid of commercial jazz and has a soothing feeling to it compared to other Metro railways all over the world.

Namma Metro Turning Radius - A test train brushed against steel railings of viaduct

16 April 2011 - 9:16am — Vasanth

Namma Metro was supposed to be start by Ugadi, but it got postponed. Stations construction was told as the reason. But, CRS had not approved Namma Metro due to the small turning radius of two curves in Reach 1 one near NGEF and another near Ulsoor. Deccan Chronicle reported this and tracking from there, while other leading news papers have not reported anything about this.

Concession in NAMMA METRO for Students community ???

10 February 2011 - 1:17pm — Sanjeev

Any plan exists in NAMMA METRO to povide concession in ticket for Students & Senior citizens. As BMTC has this facility & encourages the public to use PT.

Take the case of Kolkotta METRO, 60% concession is offered for students. I hope BMRC also comes out similar facility for students community.
