Citizen Groups urge for commuter rail service
Various Citizen Groups and transport experts have urged the government and local bodies to take interest in the proposed commuter rail service.
In a discussion held among the citizen groups it was decided to make the local bodies a part of the discussion so that the project can be implemented soon. The proposal is to use existing railway infrastructure to enable travel from outlying areas and nearby towns to the heart of Bangalore.
Meanwhile, The Rail India Technical and Economic Solutions (Rites) had done a feasibility study but the South Western Railway officials were not impressed with the investment model in the study and have asked Rites to come up with a fresh one.
