Today I was in Bengaluru. Reached Purple Line Metro at 10 AM. It was closed due to technical issue. No information. Thousands were stranded. Confusion everywhere. We went back & took the car. It took 2.15 hours for 25 kms. Would have taken 45 minutes by metro. This shows how

What action are you going to take against the corrupt and heartless cops in this case Mr CP Bengaluru ಪೊಲೀಸ್ ಆಯುಕ್ತ ಬೆಂಗಳೂರು ? Your circulars are of no use Mr Saleem DGP KARNATAKA . Dismiss them immediately. Dr. G Parameshwara CM of Karnataka

When a constable to top man gets postings for “other reasons”, they loot the public to recover their “investment”. When they get caught and public outrage is high, low level are merely suspended to fool the public. Nothing will change, unless they are dismissed and sent to jail.

Who am I to question the Tunnel Road project? asks DCM. Sir, I am a common Kannadiga. A Bengaluru boy who loves our city. A common man who is suffering in traffic everyday. As a Bengalurean and with deep concern for the city's future, I would urge the DCM to consult experts

People have spoken - Build the city for the citizen. Not for the contractor. Will the Congress Government at least listen to them now and drop this disastrous project?

. Tejasvi Surya, MP Bengaluru South, met ನಮ್ಮ ಮೆಟ್ರೋ officials over the recent fare hike, saying Bengaluru Metro now has the highest fares in India. He said the Fare Fixation Committee wrongly took 2016-17 as the base year instead of 2017-18, which led to higher fares for

It's a simple ask. BMRCL must correct the fares. It got the calculation wrong and the right thing to do is to correct it. Bengaluru, let us not stop until the fares are corrected. It's an insult to commuters that they are paying high fares due to erroneous base year.

BMRCL has considered 2016 - 17 as the base year for fare calculation, whereas if 2017 - 18 had been taken, it would have been fair to commuters. Because of this difference, today’s fares are higher, what’s ₹50 now could’ve been ₹40, ₹60 could’ve been ₹50 and ₹90 could’ve

Metro fares in other Indian cities, even for similar distances, are lesser than that of Bengaluru Metro. In Bengaluru, a 20 - 25 km ride costs ₹80, while in Delhi, even a ride of 32 km is just ₹64. In Mumbai, a 12-18 km journey costs ₹30, yet in Bengaluru, traveling 10-15

BMRCL faces a test of ethical standards. That BMRCL misapplied the fare formula is beyond doubt. Citizens & MP Tejasvi Surya have shown this clearly. To date BMRCL has hid under obfuscatory clarifications. That must STOP. Quick fare rectification is a moral imperative.

⚠️ Bengaluru metro commuters: Pls see ❌ columns in the picture below to know why you are paying unfair high fares. As an input to fare formula BMRCL considered 366% increase. True input is 110%. See ✅ columns. Siddaramaiah Manohar Lal: Direct BMRCL to correct the fares🙏🏼

We are all concerned about the status of ongoing metro projects. Yesterday, I sought answers to these from @BMRCL officials. Following are the responses received: Pink Line: Contrary to what the DCM has posted, officials clarified that only the 7 km elevated stretch of the

👇🏽is the reason why Bengaluru metro commuters pay unfair 72% fare hike. Delays means no revenue growth, but BMRCL has loan interest & repayment obligations. Now that existing commuters are paying very high fares, BMRCL will not bother about Pink and Blue line delays Tragedy.

Who is responsible for the delay? All financial burden should not be transferred to commuters. We have been bearing the cost of lack of public transport anyway. Tejasvi Surya ChristinMathewPhilip P C Mohan Mohandas Pai ನಮ್ಮ ಮೆಟ್ರೋ Muthi-ur-Rahman Siddiqui

Pathetic “ನಮ್ಮ ಮೆಟ್ರೋ” ==> “ನಮ್ಮ ಮಕ್ಕಳ ಮೆಟ್ರೋ” ==> “ನಮ್ಮ ಮೊಮ್ಮಕ್ಕಳ ಮೆಟ್ರೋ” … pathetic operations, accountability, we need a technocrat to head metro with a min of 10 years term ನಮ್ಮ ಮೆಟ್ರೋ Tejasvi Surya Ministry of Housing and Urban Affairs Mohandas Pai P C Mohan

Long before #Bengaluru’s tunnel project became a political talking point, it had come under the scanner for something more fundamental Two govt-linked expert bodies had questioned both its design & very purpose Yet, govt is going ahead with a plan by raising Rs 9,300 cr in loan
