Nonsense alignments
Interestingly, some of the Scomi proposed monorail alignments seem to make more sense than the CTTP ones! Somebody convince me why the CTTP ring road alignment for a monorail makes any sense?
Commuter Rail Markings on the map? Inspired by NR Map?
The map has marking s 'commuter rail' on all the IR lines as envisioned in NR report. Wondering if the map has taken the commuter rail inspiration from Praja's report.
Train Map
Not sure if this map is accurate /updated --
1) Metro reach-4 is shown terminating at RV rd in ph-1 whereas it has been extended upto Puttenahalli.
2) Metro reach-2 is shown extending upto Kengeri in ph-1 whereas it terminates much before at Mys rd.
Ring road alignment totally non-sense
BTM on the ORR is the main bottleneck which takes around 30 minutes to pass during peak hour. No Monorail for that stretch, rather we have monorail on the ORR and not the Marenahalli main road which is the stretch of people movement.
To make it sense, monorail should touch the Silkboard junction from where BRTS starts. It doesn't make any sense to end it somewhere on BG Road.
Observations
Couple of observations on the routing:

Tokyo train network
I really wanted to paste this tokyo train network map. Make your inferences
Thought Paris had some metro...
...until I saw this one!
