Bengaluru to have 3 new metro lines in 2023 

Atleast you must be Happy with what you got.. You must understand how they're all working in such Bengaluru traffic and sound..

@@CAMP_for_facts i do understand, but pretty sure that other cities have similar problems and none of the metros were delayed so much

@@mepawar11 Other cities are Different Bengaluru is different..

@@CAMP_for_facts correct.. Otherciites doesnt have raggi mudde.

@@mepawar11 Kolkata metro is laughing in the corner 😂

True that, if people follow rules properly atleast some of the traffic problems will be solved. Problem being pesky teenagers on KTM or shitty 2 wheelers trying to overtake everyone and Bangalore's in-famous auto-drivers.

Roads and traffic in Thailand is maintained by the monarchy so it is done well without any corruption

Now someone will call you anti national for pointing out the truth

Not really, Bangkok is so frustrating with strict laws and rules. We were even terrified to walk/cross streets. There was so much congestion just by this. You may think it's right to follow lane discipline, but the volume of vehicles in Bangkok and Bengaluru is very different. So you will pile up vehicles one behind another solving nothing.

@@prasannakannan6575 following traffic rules doesn't cause congestion, flouting it does. Also you should be afraid to cross roads randomly because that is illegal and called jaywalking, you should find a legal crossing and wait for your turn. Lose the indian mentality at least when visiting other countries.

Who cares bro..the people who need it are not the ones who are working towards it..all the people who run the projects travel by air..they don't care at all

It still wont ease traffic, it would have really worked if they would have done double decker throughout whole ring road.

@@TheAsliNeel Double decker METRO construction will take 10 years -- Very difficult to construct and takes time

@@spg6651 everything is possible buddy if there is zero corruption you yourself will be surprised how such a project can be completed in no time.

@@TheAsliNeel Be practicle -- corruption is global phenomenon -- There in every country . When I say Zero corruption means very innovative way dealing things --- I worked in MNC chemical company -- there is one guy one loads Caustic Soda lye ( liquid) into the tanker truck -- he use to take RS 20 per tanker in 1990s only -- But very secretly .. FCI head loaders are getting Rs 4 lakhs per month al through corruption system called GANG and per MT based payment. Metro is a Infra project -- And that too it is being built in the middle of running road -- You see the difficulties -- Recently there was one death due to Pillar collape -- Heavry duty work in running road is very very difficult --

It can be done.. But we citizens should follow it.

@@CAMP_for_facts correct. Citizens should follow as well. Having said that, we have zero safe pedestrian foot paths leading to the metro stations. How dies one safely walk the last Mile?

@@pushkeypushak What?? Admit the last line properly..

With such narrow roads, ur dream is way beyond science...Even cities like Mumbai, Chennai, Delhi with such broad roads, it is still a dream

@@pushkeypushak I understand Now.. Bruh.. Tell me a place in Bengaluru as you said “near metro station” .. Even if you are able to show i sure you that. It is a new metro station. Ministry of Railways and BMRCL is not that Dum& to remember to build a metro depot for Whitefield and forget to build a Footpath for metro.

Metro disciplines auto drivers like it did in Delhi. Earlier auto drivers used to ask any amount of money. Though with metro their business suddenly got impacted and to lure customers, they went through a phase of self correction

and yet they dont learn

very true.

true

so true

2024

If you would have not stayed then metro would have finished long back

Exactly and people still buy into this.

this is called blindly parroting what u see/read in the west.. all the above gyaan from the west came after a century (yes 100 years) of extensive and world class highways and transportation system... while parroting western leanings.. people forget we are a developing country and we need every bit of infrastructure for a country of a billion people with a growing economy..... comparing India with tiny weeny city countries like singapore, japan or netherlands is fool hardy. In addition we simply cannot have the kind of footpaths, bicycle lanes all the jazz mentioned above since we simply dont have the land and the population presssure is very high..

@@catchharish12345 Actually for India the current western policies are more needed in India. 1)Just have a look at the population density of Tokyo in Japan. Its pretty similar to Indian cities. Not to mention in very dense neighborhoods of Tokyo, they have is very narrow roads. 2) The amount of land in various countries is a very bad way of comparing. BECAUSE most people tend to live in cities close together. Just look at the population map of Canada, US, Australia etc. People dont live equidistant from each other but live in few major areas leaving the rest of the country pretty empty. Though yes Population density in cities of China/India is much higher. 3) No one is saying we shouldnt build roads but the question becomes how wide , and how many lanes given to what type of vehicles. Now lets look at the car. The car is the worst vehicle in a city, interms of when we think of the space taken up by a car for transporting a person. For Eg...if we compare a bus with lets say 3 cars. Now lets say the space taken by 3 cars = 1 bus. Now 3 cars at max can carry 15 people (if i take 5 in a car. But honestly you know most of the time car will have only one person). Now a bus TAKING the SAME SPACE can carry atleast 50 people so if more lanes in a road are dedicated to buses, more number of people can move through the road !!! And this number for trams & metro is even higher !!! Now lets talk about cycling/walking infrastructure. A city design for this, isnt just for some lifestyle advocacy but will have real impacts on traffic. Basically if you have a good walking infrastructure. people will tend to use it more. (For getting maybe their daily stuff or other needs) Especially thinking about shops which are in a 1km radius. Same with good cycling infra. People will use it for their daily needs ...like may be going to work/entertainment places etc etc. Especially thinking of places within 5km radius. Now why is these 2 things good ?? because if people cycle/walk more then they will not use their cars. A small cycle lane can handle far more number of people going through it then a car lane. Same with a foot path. A footpath can carry far more people then a car lane. So now lets look at an Eg. Suppose you have to build a road in an Indian city. RIght now most of the space is just given to single occupancy vehicles aka cars !!. If you look at data then half the people traveling in a vehicle really need to just go with just 5km. Now because most of the space is given to cars. It discourages people to walk/cycle. Hence you get terrible traffic. If half the space was given to footpath/cycle lane, then actually traffic will reduce on ALL LANES !!! (i.e. even car lane) why ?? for the simple reason that ....many people who were using car for short distance travel would just shift over to the cycle lane/foot path. & because cycle lane/foot path can handle far higher number of people...overall amount of traffic reduces.

And, congestion charges like London.

@@catchharish12345 lol the tiny weeny country of Japan has a population of 128 million people.

@@catchharish12345 you gotta be delusional to think Singapore is tiny, it has one of the highest population density, it's not about blindly parroting the west, what he said is actually right, widening roads will never help decongesting traffic, never. Only encouraging people use public transport and cycles is one of them which will. Afterall Bangalore used to be a city which had one of the highest number of cycle users in the country

Good point! Once Blue Line becomes operational it will also reduce the traffic drastically on the ORR. But if someone is expecting empty roads or its gonna go the level what used to look like in 90's in Bengaluru, that is never going to happen. It didn't happen in Delhi after 350 km of metro line. It's going to be at sustainable level but far from empty roads.

Increase petrol diesel price, and decrease metros buses price

Let's wait and watch couple more years and we'll know the reality instead of probability thinking.

@@keerthisa Keerthi, I have seen the city before and after metro. I have already seen the change, soon enough, you will too!

@@narutohenaruto Cool! My view is that the population is increasing so rapidly that this won't be enough to support so many people. Hopefully it gets better and we can find a solution.

NOT DOING ANYTHING IS BETTER OPTION THAN DOING SOMETHING --- People need increases exponentially when government starts working -- It is OK if government does not work - This is famous statement of PM PV NRASIMHA RAO .. Some of the small road flyovers took 12 years during Congress regime -- Today we are getting complex mETRO rail within 3 to 4 years -- YET people are unhappy -- I strongly feel GOVERNMENT SHOULD Simply keep quite - These citizens can not be satified as we have habit of comparing AMSTERDAM / LANDON / SINGAPORE etc.. where as we citizens are same old bad mannered people -- JAPAN Citizens are extremely well mannered -- Hence anything works there

even pople also doesnt look good like in east asia or in Europe.. Anything can be done?

@@hardtrailrider stfu Indian people are not ugly

@@hardtrailrider Footpath?? If we knew to use them. They will definitely do that.

no use cozz nobody uses it even tough it is of good quality

America is already developed -- Nothing more needed there -- Its done there . They are GOD for us

Doesn't matter. At least people now have a way to get to their destination without caring about traffic.

When single person travelling in SUVs take up metro for office.Traffic will automatically reduce.

Banglore roads are very wide already. But the number of people is insane

They should add more cycling lanes and bus only lanes instead of widening lanes for cars.

we need more public transportation. Cars take up too much space. So no matter how wide you build a road eventually it will get clogged. 1 bus can handle 30-50 times more people then a few cars. You can look at US as an Eg. They have lesser population density in their cities & very very wide roads. Yet even they get terrible traffic.

more roads wont change shit... public transit is the future

More Lanes never solves the problem the traffic, in fact it can become a leading cause to it. See all the available examples worldwide, from LA or in China

joke of the decade , 🤣🤣 it will never happen

No no.. They don't mean that. They want us to wait for a long time so they're opening the one. And at Web grinder will definitely take some time to be constructed.

Disjoint line is better than no line.

Who?

You chamchas will keep sucking upto Rahul Gandhi but it is our dear Modiji who toiled so hard to get this metro built. Modi ji himself monitored the progress taking time out of his busy schedule of self promotion and I would say he even engineered the solution whenever engineers were facing problems.

😂😂😂

Aree bhai comedy kar diye tum to

you forgot mataji and didiji's contribution.....they toiled hard to prepare chai and pakoras for rahulji and jijaji when they were digging land, laying tracks, welding coaches....

Not really -- First phase came from BAIRAPPANAHALLI TO PEENYA which is having least apartment - It connected Industrial area . We citizens are ready to pay anything if Metro comes and that is being uncashed -- Its free market economy -- The moment purchasing power drops , which is happening now , metro or no metro sale will not take place. Only 2 crore and above apartments sale happens which is 100 % black money market

yeah. Its sad a great city like Bangalore is being destroyed,

Hyderabad is baby metro..

Metro??? Like Hyderabad?? Bangalore will get spoilt if we use such metro...

We don't need to keep inspired any city our city Bengaluru always best

You mean Delhi

@@erenyaeger9407 Bruhhh. Delhi is the capital of the country...

Bangalore people vote for hindu muslim that's why they have these politicians.

@@anujsethi7845 lol,tell me which part if the country(rather world) has good politicians

The same thing, too, in the City of Manila, the Traffic Jams are also the Problem, but Hopefully, we Don't have to endure that Traffic thanks to the 2027 Completion of Both PNR-NSCR in all 3 Phases, and Metro Manila Subway Phase 1, and another Solution makes the City Walkable because Car-Centric City is Starting to be No Longer Feasible, and Option this decade, due to the Growing Population, Hoping this 2 Projects will not be Delayed like in Bangalore Metro, and Stick to the December 2027 Deadline, and Mid-Year 2028 Deadliest Deadline.

@@ainsleyfrastructurekpopmashups Manila is still better than most of the indian cities specially Major cities like Mumbai Delhi benglore and kolkata (obviously)

@@anujsethi7845 doesn't india vote for Hindu muslim?

Proves how much corruption is there in Bangalore (which city is also know for)

Trams? Why? With the kind of lane discipline that Bangalore drivers have, a tram will not be very different from an articulated bus. Trams will get stuck in traffic and thus lose their advantage over buses. Better have a grade-separated metro, and bicycle paths on bollarded footpaths leading to it.

No one knows Goraguntepalya..we want metro till Bandra instead

Relates to Bangalore and not Mumbai

@@shivaramnv4131 Bandra is in Mumbai, not in Bangalore..

@@splitsecondblackswan are don't mix Mumbai bandra to Bengaluru Goruguntepalya news is about Bengaluru

okay sir i'm starting to plan today

The plan is there, but will take atleast 5-10 years

There is something called Suburban Rail. Educate yourselves about that.

@@amithpallavoor true lol

Bruh.. You have gone too far. Byappanahalli phrase is delayed because they are constructing Silk board corridor bridge right next to the Metro bridge and They're also constructing the metro above the tin factory - hebbal flyover.

Half the problem is because various contractors selected went "bankrupt" half-way through the construction, for example "Simplex Infra" is prime cause for half of problems in Bangalore: 1. They delayed the on-going lines as even the BMRCL head says. 2. They were winners of tender for Phase 2 line from SilkBoard to KR Puram. After winning they went bankrupt, so re-tendering was required and pandemic came in middle. 3. They are the contractor for that Ejipura flyover and went bankrupt half way through construction that too AFTER delaying it.

@@motog-rocks6544 there is no wonder contractors goes bankrupt.. After paying this much commission and bribe to government engineers and politicians, any one will survive?

take grren line metro from silk institute and change to yellow line metro in rv road , then travel in in yellow line till silk board and there you can transision to blue line which will take you to the destination

Unfortunately widening roads will not reduce traffic. As when you widen a road...more people start using cars meaning again you get traffic. Only way to reduce traffic is public transportation !!! & building good walking/cycling infra (so that people dont use cars for short distances) The issue with cars is that they take up too much space. just think about the number of people in a bus compared to even few cars. If you want to widen roads...then they should be dedicated to buses/trams.

Wider roads do not solve anything. You need cycling/pedestrian infrastructure instead of more car infrastructure to reduce travel times

Bengaluru needs trams.

@@PK-tt5kk stop spreading this brainless communist propaganda, wider roads are much needed in 2 lane city Bangalore.

The wider the road the wider the traffic, more flyovers again more traffic
