Bangalore,IT city,silicon valley of India, one of the fastest growing city of the world going to get Metro rail very soon.People of the city are very happy and hopeful that after metro rail service city traffic will get some ease.Bangalore city is Over 10 million people city,metro city of India,has very horrible traffic ,very less road and more vehicles,always traffic jams.City roads are struggling to accommodate the load of vehicle,traffic.People of city suffers lot due to this bad traffic jams.in the pick hour 10 minutes journey takes more then hour to reach the destination.Hope this kind of time wasting in traffic will get reduced.
Metro rail service fist started in India city of joy Kolkata then Calcutta in 1985.Kolkata metro given lot of comfort for city people.it was great for our under developed country .underground rail,it was an achievement for Indian people.After Kolkata it was our capital Delhi's turn.Delhi started Metro in 2006 ,Delhi metro is also great success,traffic jams got reduces people of Delhi now commute more on Metro compare to Delhi blue line bus,its safe and fast.It has reduced the jams and traffic chaos in the city.After Delhi successful Metro other Indian metro city like Bangalore,Hyderabad ,Ahmadabad started their metro rail projects.Bangalore Metro going to start on coming April 2011.As of now various test drive is going on and if all are on track deadline meets Bangalorean will enjoying metro service on very soon,next month April.
As there is saying that nothing good comes easy and without cost,it cost lot economically and ecologically.The total cost to complete this project s huge,crore of rupees .Bangalore city lost lost lot of tree as well.this city has rich greenery.Bangalore is known for garden in this city,garden city of India but for all these development we are losing great deal of city's greenery,that's kind of hazardous to our environment.Because of all these tree cut and new construction Bangalore weather is no more cool,its very unpredictable now.Day by day temperature is increasing.Compare to other Indian city weather still good ,not much extreme but its loosing its charm now.Apart from lots of tree cut city people lost their beautifully build houses , many people effected on this Metro project,lost houses ,properties.Govt has to compensate for these loses who lost their houses but that compensation is less then the investment made by the people to build house.But anyway if ends well, all well.
whatever loss has happened to city people but believe is this that it will give more to city people compare to loss.Surely Bangalore will get new look,better look ,traffic will get ease.BMTC will be sharing the load with METRO.People will commute in metro more then BMTC bus,it will be fast and safe as well.This April going to start the first phase of Metro.This first phase will connect only half of the city .next other phases will cover full city including New international airport in Yelahanka which is 40 KM away from city.Hopefully Namma Metro rocks.
HI Mangal another nice piece of demonstration regarding metro coming to the garden city Bangalore but at the cost of cutting trees demolising builidings. so the Garden city now chaging its face to a city of morden transport like metro. This is good or bad would be tested by in future. But definitely metro itself is a successfully story as experienced by the city like kolkata and delhi. But in both these cities greenery is not much as compare to Bangalore. So Garden city as the cost of wiping the garden has to face the heat. Definitely again metro will be a success as we think of.Again from Aravind I heared that BMC is really taking the initiative to plant more trees in the city to defend such climatic chage.The figure that Arvind was telling is really impressive that number of trees that has been cut for buildiing the metro and the volume of private vechile that will decline due to metro will counteract. That will ultimately reduce the pollution. But in reality we have to wait and watch. Lets hope another successful Metro story in Bangalore....
