Rail bittra?
Monorail track has changed to the CTTP one, what happened to the agara-majestic one under swiss challenge???
Now about that implementation part....
is this along the ORR or via the Bellary Road ?
>>He announced that a new project of BRTS (bus rapid transit system
I dont see any value with BRT along the ORR ( hebbal to silkboard) as there is ongoing project to make this entire strech signal Free.. morever there would NOT be any space left for BRT after the current projects are completed.
It would be welcome if the strech below the KR PURUM Hanging Bridge is being considered for BPS/BRT. I dont think any thing other project is in pipeline to ease this Major Bottle NECK.
BRTS more like BPS..
I think..BPS when on those junctions and BRTS when at grade!
but hope they dont go chopping off the trees along the road with this pretext!
About the situation below the hanging bridge..Railways need to part with some of their land to make life of motorists easier there..hope somebody takes this up with Muniyappa!
