Commuter Rail - Email Campaign !

RITES report is out. Time for action. Shouldn't take more than 5 minutes to send one. Here is a sample of the email that I had sent to various people. You may send this petition to these email addresses:

Government Of India

Union minister of Urban Development - Minister-mud@nic.in

Union minister of Railways - mr@rb.railnet.gov.in

Will you take part in an on-street event in support of Commuter Rail?

BBMP (and BTP) and inclusive development

One look at the typical projects happening in Bangalore and it is quite clear that for the BBMP the city is a thoroughfare meant to enable cars to zip across the city with minimal inconvenience.  There always seems to be enough funds for flyovers, underpasses, road widening and asphalting.

Controversy brewing over commuter rail, Metro to blame?

Time to indulge in some talk on Namma Railu aka Commuter Rail Service (CRS). RITES has submitted a report to DULT last week. Sources claim that Rs 3000-4000 Crore can give Bangalore a 15 minute lead time commuter rail system covering 200 odd kms of distance. We will validate this once the RITES report is made public.
