Already hosa road traffic is unbearable. Now this is open with out proprer parking is going to kill that road
Very happy for new line. When you are going to start metro line from Mysore road to jpnaghar 4 th phase via verabdranaghar, PES College hoskerahalli, katriguppe, kamakya, devegowda petrol bunk,kaderenahalli, Banashankari metro station
If this is the case here, I doubt that even the already delayed blue line will take atleast 5 more years.
