CTTP has all the details for improving transport facilities in Bengaluru through various options. While the Metro / Mono take their own sweet time for completion, making use of the existing railway network on a limited scale on a few routes can be an immediate solution. I understand that the railway lines cover only a certain portion of the city, and local train transport with feeder bus services will have a great impact for that portions. The Kengeri-Whitefield route can be a pilot route as it is already an electrified double track. With the BMTC & private industrial managements, including software tech parks providing feeder services from their respective places to the nearest terminals, this can be a very effective solution in the immediate future. Our daily traffic situation is only growing worser day-by-day and i believe if this is implemented in a small way, our city can become better.
Commuter Rail can make our city better

south side stations
Subba, as per the railway
also needed train service to Devanahalli on chikaballapur line.
Focused approach - need of the hour
Upto Kengeri track is doubled
Electrification Needed in these lines
Rail Bhavan
thanks all for the inputs. The problem also is that all budgetary allocations are managed at rail bhavan. it may be that nyrutya- bangalore division officials and our MPs have to lobby rail bhavan. dunno if either of them are proactive like that. last year if i remember correctly salem line got 1 cr or something. you can read CTTP's prescription for CRS here http://praja.in/7-5-commu... here is a preview image.

TS, Wonderful observation.
New grade separators to ease traffic!!!
Capacity constraints? Connect satellite towns
Doubling of Yesvantpur-Banaswadi-Baiyyappanahalli-Yelahanka, if carried out, could be used to run CRS shuttles.
Bangalore-Whitefield line is very congested at present and I believe that is why SWR is reluctant to take up CRS there. Even the existing trains on this route are very popular. I recently travelled on the Bangalore-Bangarapet afternoon shuttle and found it to be jam-packed. The train has only 8 coaches.
Similar shuttles between Bangalore-Tumkur, after doubling is complete, would also be useful.
Frequent shuttles like these would serve satellite towns and reduce some of the pressure on Bangalore.

Bangalore Nelamangala is also complete
Bangalore -nelamanagla on the hassan bangalore new line is also lying unused and can be put to good use by the railway authorities
