Several MRTS proposals for Bangalore have been in the pipeline for nearly 24 years. In 1982, a study suggested that the MRTS should have a route length of 12.20 km. and pegged the cost at Rs. 239.15 crores.

In 1983, the Metropolitan Transit Project, an organization of Indian Railways, prepared a feasibility report for provision of suburban rail services on existing lines, a circular railway of 57.9 km. metro system on two corridors, in Phase-I 12.9 km. from Rajajinagar to Jayanagar and in Phase - II 11.2 km. from Hudson Circle to Krishnarajapuram. In 1988, a World Bank aided study was carried out by RITES and the study recommended a Commuter Rail System along with improvement of road transport system.

Later, in 1994, the Bangalore Mass Rapid Transit Limited (BMRTL) was incorporated by the State Government to implement the mass rapid transit system. BMRTL in turn asked the IL&FS to carry out a feasibility study for LRT System on Public-Private Partnership. However, though the partner was selected, the project did not take off. Later, Delhi Metro Rail Corporation (DMRC) in partnership with RITES prepared a Detailed Project Report (DPR) for Bangalore Metro Rail, Phase I in 2003 at the instance of the Government. It proposed two double line corridors: East-West (EW) and North-South (NS) with a total length of 33 km.

The Bangalore Metro Rail finally took shape with the Karnataka Government clearing the project in March, 2005 and the Union Government giving its approval in April, 2006.

Consists of 42.3 kilometers of route length of which 8.8 kilometers is underground while the rest is elevated

@mahirocks, Its not replaced, only renamed. The train will still reach airport within 30 mins :lol: - nice eyewash to keep people calm.
They told 50 minutes instead. See my updates hsrl thread..

The 35 km rail link is estimated to cost about Rs. 5,800 crore and the distance is expected to be covered within 30 minutes with stations at Cubbon Road, Hebbal and Yelahanka. While, a Metro link will take about 50 minutes to cover the same.

Actually, I'd expected this would happen... and I think the monorail will be scrapped too
It will be altogether different once metro reach 1 opens.. Depending on ridership and any other technical glitches or maintenance costs etc are known.

Is it so? Delhi Metro?
Delhi metro doesn't provide a facility to charge smart card from phone. Only way of charging is through customer care or through ticket vending machines. There is a co-branded card of DMRC and Citi bank. I don't know whether it allows online recharge.

Can anyone tell me where is the third rail in this pic? Is it that yellow one?
Yes.

@Thinktank... what's wrong with the airport link??
Nothing wrong, it's just slow. I was thinking if there was a way to get there within 30 mins. Delhi Airport metro covers shorter distance and has more stops but the good thing about it is the baggage check which can be done before boarding the train so that you don't have to stand in long lines at the airport.
