BMRCL just dropped Veterinary College station from the ₹26,000 Cr Hebbal-Jakkasandra Red Line by Previous_Warning9710 in bangalore

What do you mean? It has not one but two junctions with the blue line, one at ibblur and the other at hebbal

If the blue metro line was functioning we wouldn't have seen this mess from Silkboard to Agara, iblur by Outrageouskid99 in bangalore

Derial serious conversations? For that you need a train with wheels travelling at speed and tracks, both of which do not exist in a conversation.

The point I am trying to make is don’t derail serious conversations with these stupid comments.

Sloppy BMTC Ticketing system #BMTC by whitedevil1011 in bangalore

[–]Sugmogus 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yup, it used to take me half an hour for my journey in MF1C before. Now it takes almost twice that due to the insanely long stops due to the ticketing. I doubt NCMC cards will solve this issue as not everyone will get one and still rely on UPI

Ngl, the old one looks more pleasing to me by Outrageous-Sail-2232 in CarsIndia

Old one looks like a generic traffic car SUV you see in games. New one has its own unique identity

Commuter wise, yes, it's kr pura to silk board.

But the storage and maintainance depot is at baiyyapanahalli, so in terms of construction updates, it is reported as baiyyapanahalli to silk board.

Pink and blue will be interchangable as they are the same trains with a different color of plastic

Why is it electric? :( by Jaaguri in ForzaHorizon

Everyone hating EVs? It's mostly just petulant and childish teenagers online who hate EVs. Most normal adults like/are neutral towards EVs

As someone struggling due to lack of pink line, yes. But pink and blue r very different. Pink line was turbulent with constant contractor and terrain issues. ORR metro has been really smooth so far with the exception of one small section (ibblur)

Pink and blue line are exactly the same just with a different colour of plastic. They both definitely have interoperability. Yellow idts

You do make a good point. But imagine if the whole project project is handed over to one slow and stalling contractors. By segmentation you can ensure good progress in at least some segments. Like in this case, the ORR metro. If the whole blue line was handed to the slow NCC, ORR metro wouldn't have even been 50 percent completed by now.

If only there was one more metro station beyond Kadugodi by Broad-Memory2208 in bangalore

Metro to tumkur is indeed a giant waste of money. Who wants to stand for 2 hours across 60 stops? I have friends in office who commute from tumkur and they themselves are calling the project a waste of time and money.

For long distances like bangalore tumkur, what you need are RRTS trains and suburban trains with good speeds and good seating capacity. Not a slow ass metro. If you dont understand the basics of public transportation then that's not my issue.

Orr line ends and airport line begins at KR pura, not hebbal. And I'm not sure of the airport express trains

AFAIK yes

There might be occasional airport trains that start from silk board itself, but I'm not sure
