Bangalore Metro Much needed relief
Deccan Herald-2nd May 2016-LE

Sir, Apropos "Key metro link opens" (DH, Apr 30). For a city like Bengaluru having massive economic activity, a metro rail is of great importance to daily commuters. Therefore, the launch of the purple line of Namma Metro is most welcome. The city has about 5.82 million vehicles, mostly 2-wheelers, and 70% are on roads during peak hour.

The new metro line will bring much relief to Bangaloreans who can commute from Mysore Road to Baiyappanahalli in about 35 minutes. It is hoped that the government enhances last-mile connectivity with feeder bus services and also complete Metro Phase II by 2020.

It is a historical day for Bangalore with the launch of Namma Metro. However till all phases are completed and interlinked, it will not make a substantial difference lessening the traffic situation, Never the less, it is symbolic gesture by the state government to make efforts to reduce the city's traffic conditions and make Bangalore a better place to live in.

We hope and pray that all routes of Namma Metro routes are completed in time so that at least we see traffic congestion down by at least 4 %. Once Namma Metro is complete, IT professionals from Rajajinagar and Vijaynagar can reach Whitefield in 35 minutes if they take the train.
