BANGALORE (Metro Rail News): Anjum Parwez, the managing director of Bangalore Metro Rail Corporation (BMRC), said on November 18 that the 175 km metro rail project in Bengaluru was on track to be completed by June 2025.
Parwez states that urban India was the most underserved region until the 1990s because urban design was out of step with connection or transportation difficulties. He claimed that moving individuals from individualised transportation modes into multi-modal transportation systems and onto public transportation was the biggest problem in urban mobility.
Bengaluru will have 314 km of metro rail connectivity by 2041, Parwez stated at a session on the Future of Mobility at the Bengaluru Tech Summit 2022 (BTS 2022). He claimed that metro line work was going smoothly on the airport side.
BMRCL receives much support from mobility start-ups to guarantee that commuters have last-mile connectivity. He claimed that to get people to the nodal point and on their way to work, the Corporation is collaborating with mobility service providers, added Parwez.
He stated that the Corporation and the Bengaluru Metropolitan Transport Corporation (BMTC) discussed constructing bus stops at metro stations to make it simpler for passengers to board and depart both modes of transportation. Although the Karnataka government had stopped their activities, he recommended promoting carpooling and bike taxis.
