CM requesting Planning Commission to sanction Commuter Rail on cost sharing basis
With reference to Bangalore, Mr. Yeddyurappa said the Railways should take up Commuter Rail Project in partnership with the State Government on a cost-sharing basis.
The project would provide connectivity on the north-south and east-west access of existing surface rail lanes in Bangalore, he said.
He suggested that cities like Bangalore, which have built “brand India” globally through information technology should be given Central assistance for infrastructure development as they had made their own investments on infrastructure to support IT growth

With CM himself requesting Planning Commission Dy Chairmen to provide Commuter Rail project on cost sharing basis with Railways should ensure that things start moving further. Its now Railway should come forward with full heart on Commuter Rail for Bangalore.

Tumkur MP requesting PM to look into the Commuter Rail for Ban
While talking to Tumkur MP office, they confirmed that Mr Basavaraj MP has written letter few weeks back to PM ( after he took over Railway Minister portfolio ) to look into the injustice done for Commuter Rail Bangalore.
Now PM has forwarded the same to Railway Board for further action.
Now its high time so called Elected Representatives and Citizens demand strong for Commuter Rail.
Awareness on Commuter Rail project
We feel more and more public should make demand to DRM / SWR to Commuter Rail for Bangalore, so that we get this facility.

Its good suggestion every one of us should write to concerned
Every one who have been affected by Traffic problem should write to all concernd MP's from Bangalore.
Write to Suth MP to following mailid :
Ananth Kumar : ananth@ananth.org / secretary@ananth.org
Already few of us like Mr Syed have written letter to Veerappa Moily : vmoily@kar.nic.in, Venkyia Naidu, Rajeev Chandrashekar to put pressure on Center.
But none of them speak out or write letter to PM or Railway Minister to look into the Demands of Bangalore.
Citizens should demand to Railway Board and MP's so that things will fall in line soon.

Can we sau it's on the front burner, after all?
But GoK has not sent any proposal even after 2/3 years over
GoK is sleeping on the proposal Commuter Rail and keep on pointing at Center. With such good mechanisam exists in Govt, for proposals approval, why is GoK is not forwarding the proposal to Indian Railway and following delaying tactics on this.
With current poltical situation in Karnataka, their is hardly any accountability for the progress of METRO, HSRL, Mono rail, Commuter Rail, BRTS, Cycling & others.
Commuter Rail is other name for METRO?
Murali,
"The Hindu" reports this in little different way
This makes it little hard to accept that GOK has actually planned for commuter rail as we have envisioned it to be.
Facts on ground actually points to METRO, not commuter/suburban rail - RITES is yet to submit the report, DULT is yet forward those recommendations to GOK for further action. May be all this done in background without public notice, but hard to believe.
