Namma Metro:Fares to go up by 10-12 percent from tomorrow

Namma Metro:Fares to go up by 10-12 percent from tomorrow
BENGALURU: Fares on Namma Metro have been increased by 10 to 12 per cent in light of the commissioning of the entire Phase-I. The hike will come into effect from Sunday when the commercial operations of the North-South Corridor are set to begin.
The decision was taken during a high-level meet held by Metro officials on Thursday night.
Confirming the news to Express, Additional Chief Secretary, Urban Development, Mahendra Jain, said,
“Yes, the fares will go up approximately by 10 per cent.” The minimum fare (`10) between two stations will remain unchanged. “This is regardless of whether the distance between two stations is 600m or 1.5km,” said a Metro official.
According to a top Metro official, the fares are fixed this time based on the footfalls at each station. The existing Purple Line (Baiyappanahalli to Mysore Road) and operational part of Green Line (Mantri Square Sampige Road to Nagasandra) will see the increase effected. It will be automatically incorporated when fixing the fares for the new stretch from Mantri Square to Yelachenahalli.
BMRCL Chief Public Relations Officer U A Vasanth Rao said, “We have not increased the fares since the launch of Metro services in the city in 2011. The additional sum will go towards funding our operations and maintenance costs and towards debt servicing.”
The full fare table from point to point will be released on Saturday.

BMRCL PLAN FOR SURFACE METRO IN BANGALORE CITY

Surface Metro | BMRC plans to run Surface Metro Rail in Bengaluru city

Bengaluru: After being delayed many times over, Phase 1 of the Namma Metro is now inching towards completion but the government already appears to be contemplating another rail network for the city – Surface Rail

Interestingly, Bangalore Metro Rail Corporation Limited (BMRCL) is likely to prepare the project report for the Surface Rail. “For a city like Bengaluru, the Metro network alone won’t suffice. We are planning to build a Surface Rail along the proposed Peripheral Ring Road (PRR), so that the city has a circular train network. This will, in turn, be connected to the Metro at strategic points,” official sources told TOI.

Sources in the urban development department said that the Bangalore Development Authority (BDA) was likely to include the right of way for the rail network along the proposed route of the PRR. “The 65km-long PRR cuts through Sarjapur Road, Old Madras Road, Ballari Road and KR Puram. These points will be bookended by Hosur Road and Tumakuru Road. In order to provide a circular network, one half of the Surface Rail be built along the existing NICE Road, and the reminder on the PRR,” said a UDD official.
The official pointed out that while the basic design, and the source of the train’s power won’t be too different, the Surface Rail would ride at a height of just 2m or 3m above the ground. “Underpasses or over bridges will be built to ease regular road traffic, where the Surface Rail passes,” he added.
However, UDD sources said that the proposal was still on the drawing board. “To start with, we need to tackle all the challenges before going ahead with the PRR. By then, a detailed report on Surface Rail and its feasibility would be ready, and we could propose it to the government. It’s too early to talk about the cost,” the official said.

Namma Metro to miss Rajyotsava deadline

Namma Metro to miss Rajyotsava deadline

Phase-I expected to become operational in April 2017

Those awaiting for completion of Phase I of the metro network would be a tad disappointed as the State government on Wednesday pushed the deadline from November 1 this year to April 2017.

Two crucial stretches of the 42.3-km network of Phase 1 — Majestic-Kanakapura Road and Majestic-Sampige Road, which will connect to the existing operational line from Sampige Road to Nagasandra — are yet to be completed.

“Owing to difficulty in drilling the tunnel, there would be a delay in commencing operations by at least five months. All civil and electrical works of the first phase of Namma Metro will completed by January 2017 and commercial operations will begin in April 2017,” Chief Minister Siddaramaiah told presspersons after chairing a meeting of city legislators and Bangalore Metro Corporation Ltd.

About 33 km of the 42.3-km network has been completed. There is a problem on a 15-metre underground stretch connecting Majestic, which has delayed work, he added.

“Currently, an average 1.80 lakh passengers have been utilising metro rail services daily while about five lakh passengers would utilise the services after completion of the first phase,” the Chief Minister said.

Namma Metro Peak hours frequency may go up

Namma Metro Peak hours frequency may go up

BENGALURU: With most trains running to full capacity during peak hours, Namma Metro is now contemplating increasing the frequency of the trips.

Asked about the lack of breathing space in the trains, Pradeep Singh Kharola, Managing Director, Bangalore Metro Rail Corporation Limited, told City Express, “We are seized of the matter. Our officials are studying the traffic in trains.”

Trains are run every eight minutes during peak hours (8 am to 8 pm) and every 10 minutes during non-peak hours. “We can increase the frequency. Right now, we are watching the situation,” he said.

Kharola remained non-commital on when the frequency would be increased, though. “From eight minutes, we could make it five or four minutes,” he said.

The BMRCL office is flooded with various requests, including one for a separate compartment for women, Kharola said. “It is just a fortnight since the launch. We want to allow things to settle down first.”

Big Demolition

Meanwhile, work on acquiring properties for Phase II of Namma Metro is proceeding at a fast pace.

A total of 173 properties on the 11.5 km stretch, between Mahadevapura and Whitefield, have been acquired for the line, said a top official.

BMRCL has now acquired all properties required between Baiyappanahalli and Whitefield.

“Compensation will be paid by June 15, We have already paid `200 crore to Karnataka Industrial Areas Development Board to disburse the payments,” the official added.

Among the properties acquired is a seven-storeyed building belonging to Balaji Corporate Services, which the Metro will demolish next month. The previous tallest demolition undertaken by Metro was a four-storeyed building on Tumakuru Road.

The seven-storeyed building is located just before the proposed ITPL Metro station (near Prestige Shantiniketan).

With the track running through this building, it was absolutely important to acquire it, the official said.

“We wanted only 700 sq m of its 1,600, but since the building had already been constructed and half a building could not be handed over, the owner wanted us to acquire the entire property,” he added.

The building was completed just a year ago with only the ground floor and first floor being occupied by commercial establishments.

“We had notified the owner a couple of years ago, but he did not expect the Metro to actually come up and went ahead with the construction,” the official said.

The owner might have to be paid about `15 crore for the property, he added.

IPL matches increase ridership
  •  So far, about 15 lakh commuters have travelled along the East-West Corridor between Mysuru Road and Baiyappanahalli.
  • Daily occupancy now hovers around the 90,000 mark on a working day and around 1.2 lakh during weekends.
  •  IPL matches and the recent 10K marathon have contributed to packed weekend trips.

Nearly 2 lakh people used the East-West Metro line -BMRCL

Nearly 2 lakh people used the East-West Metro line -BMRCL

Namma Metro woes: Things you didn’t do, BMRCL

Bengaluru: After joy rides of Saturday and Sunday, when nearly 2 lakh people used the East-West Metro line, the real test for the Metro came on Monday when regular commuters switched to spanking new transport system from BMTC buses, private vehicles, taxis and autorickshaws. “Majority of the commuters during the peak hours were Vidhana Soudha employees and government staffers as most of the tickets sold were for the Majestic and Dr B.R. Ambedkar stations,” said a BMRCL official.   

The major attractions are reduced time of travel, traffic-free commute, clean and well-maintained Metro and the fares that are less than what even cab aggregators charge. Mr Sadashiva, a second division assistant at the High Court, said, “It saves time and money. If people start using the smart cards issued by the BMRCL they can avail more discounts. But the BMRCL should reduce the cost of the cards, which is Rs 50.”

The Metro fares are said to be cheaper than that of BMTC AC buses. The minimum fare starts from Rs 10 and the maximum is Rs 40 for an 18.1 km travel.
BMRCL officials said that more than 90, 000 passengers used the Metro on Monday. The maximum number of passengers travelled from Byyappanhalli to M.G. Road and from Magadi Road to Vijayanagar.

Thousands of people use Metro to reach IPL
More than 10,000 people took the Metro trains between 6 pm and 7 pm to reach the M. Chinnaswamy Stadium to watch the RCB-KKR IPL cricket match. The BMRCL officials said that the number will go up as thousands of people are expected to take Metro to go back home later during the night.

Tokens don’t get read by machines
Technical glitches worsened things as many e-tokens issued were not read by the reader at the entry gate, forcing commuters  to exchange them at the ticket counters.  Bhagya, 75, who was travelling with her family, was unhappy that her e-token for her first Metro ride was not accepted by the machine.

Poor seating arrangements at stations
Many commuters, especially senior citizens, were seen sitting on pillars at the Mysuru road station during peak hours while waiting for the Metro to Baiyappanahalli station. Many felt the BMRCL should have made seating arrangements at least for senior citizens and people with disabilities.

Confusion over station names
Names of stations that don’t reflect the localities they are in created confusion among passengers. The confusion was mainly over the Kempegowda station in Majestic.

Short train stops
Passengers rushed to enter  the trains which stopped for less than 30 seconds at each station. Not everyone could make it and some were left behind.

Long disorganised queues
With thousands of employees of both public and private organisations choosing to travel by Metro to  work,  many stations had long unweildy queues, making it difficult for passengers to get their e-tokens for travel. A 65-year-old retired government employee, Shankar, who was travelling from Dr Ambedkar station to Mysuru road complained that people were jumping the queues and the Metro staff were taking too long to issue tickets. “They need to increase the number of ticket counters. At noon I had to wait for 10 minutes and force people to follow the queue to get a ticket. Just imaging the plight of thousands of commuters during peak hours. The authorities should come out with some alternatives as soon as possible as this stretch is being used by many commuters who want to avoid the traffic congestion on the roads,” he said.

Penalty for loitering
Like at the Delhi Metro stations, those loitering at the  Metro stations of the newly opened city line for over an hour,  were  fined Rs 10 by BMRCL officials. The e-token of such commuters don't get read at the exit gate. Commuters Rajesh and his friend , who paid the fine of Rs 10 each,  claimed they were  looking around Dr. B R Ambedkar Metro station , which has photographs displayed on the making of South India’s first underground  station.

No paper ticket to claim reimbursement
Unlike the BMTC or the Indian railways, people who commute by Namma Metro do not receive paper tickets to claim reimbursement at work.

Shortage of seats on trains
With only 150 seats on the trains, many were left standing just like on BMTC buses.

Bengaluru Underground Metro Rail section inaugurated

Bengaluru Underground Metro Rail section inaugurated
Bengaluru: If criss-crossing the city has now become hassle-free with Namma Metro, Sunday saw yet another milestone.  South India’s first ever underground metro section connecting east west corridor of Banglore metro rail project was inaugurated here.  The 4.8 km long underground section from Cubbon Park to City railway station completes the 18.10 km long east west corridor, also called Purple Line.
Buoyed mostly by picnickers, the ridership on the metro’s newly launched Purple Line, connecting Baiyappanahalli in the east and Nayandahalli in the west, crossed a record one lakh by the evening. The underground section that passes through Vidhana Soudha, the state secretariat, consists of five stations. Cost of construction for this stretch is about Rs 2,000 crore.
The section was inaugurated by Chief Minister Siddaramaiah and Union Urban Development Minister Venkaiah Naidu. They also inaugurated the station in front of Vidhana Soudha named after B R Ambedkar. With the completion of this stretch, out of the 42.3 km of phase 1 of the “Namma Metro” project, 33 km is operational. Phase 1 includes east west corridor of 18.10 km with 17 stations and 24.2 km of north south corridor with 24 stations.
At the inaugural event, Siddaramaih said first phase of Namma Metro “is almost 90 per cent complete and the rest will be completed by November 1 and will be free for operation.” “There was delay in completion of phase one as we stumbled up on a rock while working on underground stretch,” he said.
A sum of Rs 13,845 crore has been spent on phase one, out of which Rs 5,335 crore is borne by the state government. Stating that the second phase of metro will be about 72 km, Siddaramaih said it will cost about Rs 26,405 crore, out of which Rs 9,000 crore will be borne by the state. “Work on second phase has already started after required approval from the Centre and it is likely to be completed by 2020,” he said. With the operation of phase one, people travelling from Bayappanahalli to Mysuru Road, a distance of 18.10 km can be covered in approximately 35 minutes.
Naidu assured that the Centre government is cooperating with Karnataka government in realizing phase three of Metro project for which the feasibility study is underway. He said “with the opening of this line today, the total metro line operational in the country is 316 km in the cities of Delhi, NCR, Kolkata, Bengaluru, Chennai, Jaipur and Mumbai. Around 496 km is under construction in various cities….” “Another 580 km is under consideration for Vishakapatnam, Vijayawada, Pune, Ahemadabad and others,” he added. Union Chemicals and Fertilizers Minister Ananth Kumar, advocating multi-mode transport system for Bengaluru city, said for one crore citizens in the city, there are about 56 lakh vehicles.
Record one lakh commuters travel in Bengaluru Metro on Sunday
A record one-lakh commuters travelled in the air-conditioned metro rail coaches on Sunday – a day after the service was opened for public — on the 18.1km east-west corridor, with 4.8km through underground. “On the first Sunday, after the service was commenced on Saturday, around one-lakh people travelled on the route since morning (6 a.m.) till late night (11 p.m.) on both ways from Baiyappanhalli in the east to Mysuru Road in the west,” said a spokesperson of the state-run Bangalore Metro Rail Corporation Ltd (BMRCL).  It was ‘family day out’ ‘extended family day out’ and ‘babies day out’ along the underground Metro corridor on the first Sunday since its inauguration. A few working professionals also took a ‘test ride’ before their first trip to office by the Metro on Monday.
In a city dominated by private transport, Namma Metro on Sunday showed what it could be for thousands of travellers across the city, who shunned their vehicles to take a ride to the city centre.
One of the largest lung spaces in the city, the Cubbon Park, as well as the Vidhana Soudha and the Majestic saw a huge turnout of citizens, many of whom hitherto avoided coming for want of parking space, traffic, and the distance.
On the first day (Saturday) of the new service, about 93,500 commuters hopped onto the metro on both the routes, boarding at one of the 17 stations, with majority of them alighting at Majestic or MG Road stations and returning to their destinations en-route.
Trains were jam-packed and Metro stations were overflowing with commuters throughout the day. Security staff could be seen hollering at kids ‘not go beyond the yellow line’. Children ran around trying to snatch the balloons put up at the stations for the inauguration.
A family of 20 members figured among those who enjoyed a Metro ride on Sunday. They had boarded a train in the evening from Halasuru to Kempe Gowda Metro station. Muniraju, a retired employee from KGF, was seen shepherding the group comprising his wife, son, three sisters, three brothers and grandchildren.
“I wanted everyone in my family to travel by the underground corridor. So, we took this short trip,” he said.
His relative Rajiv, who works with a courier company, said, “The trip was very crowded both ways. The annual fair at Someshwara temple saw many travel from far away to Halasuru by Metro today,” he said.
Rayappa Praveen had taken the trip from Indiranagar to Sir M Visvesvaraya Metro station along with his wife Leena to assess the travel time from his house to office. “It took me just 15 minutes via Metro whereas the trip by road would take nearly 45 minutes. The trip was very good,” he said. Leena interrupted to add, “Must say it was a very comfortable ride, particularly the air-conditioned atmosphere. Felt really soothing.
Meanwhile, R Nandini was noticed expressing her disgust to her husband V Prasanna over the fresh paan stains that had defaced the wall near the escalators at Sir M Visvesvaraya station. “As a nation, we do not have a sense of ownership about public property. Why else would anyone do this?” she said aloud.
However, she was all praise for the trip. The couple reside in BCC Layout near Nayandahalli and she works as a cashier at Oriental Insurance Company near the BBMP office.
“I walked 1 km from my house to the Mysuru  Road station and we took a train to Sir M Visvesvaraya station. My office is less than 1 km from here and I can walk that distance too. This will definitely improve my health,” she added.
Charan Sathvik took the trip for the sake of his baby, Aditi, to simply look around. “The crowd was too much and we had to travel standing throughout the underground corridor,” he said. His wife Neetu intervened to say, “Despite that, we loved it. For, we only needed to stand for up to 10 minutes.”
The Cubbon Park Metro station was particularly crowded as many chose to visit the park from various locations for a family outing.
On metro’s debut in October 2011, about 85,000 people commuted between MG Road and Baiyappanhalli stations, the first 8km of the 42.3km first phase, including the 24.2km north-south corridor, which is in the final stages of completion.
“About 120 trips were made today (Sunday) as against 115 trips on Saturday, increasing the frequency and reducing waiting time for the next service to eight minutes from 10-15 minutes during the non-peak hours,” BMRCL public relations officer U.A. Vasanth Rao said.
Taking a break from oppressive hot and humid weather in the city, several curious commuters, including women and young flocked to their nearest metro stations for a joy ride in the air-conditioned coaches from spick-and-span station.
“I took the metro from MG Road to Majestic with my friends in the evening for a joy ride. Although all the three coaches were crowded, it was fun,” said Radhika, 22, a financial analyst with an international audit firm.
As women had to jostle for space to even stand in the packed coaches with male commuters, some of them told that the operator should have a separate coach for women and children to ensure their safety and security.
The actual impact of the belated service, bogged by delays and cost escalation, will be known from Monday to Friday and if the service reduces air pollution and minimises traffic snarls across the city’s thoroughfares.
Include Varthur Road in Metro Phase 3, say Whitefielders
With the announcement of feasibility study for Namma Metro Phase 3, citizens have started putting forth requests for inclusion of certain areas under the proposed project. In fact some have started a petition demanding extension of metro from Marathahalli Bridge to Varthur Road and beyond, as it will help in taking pressure off the roads.
Whitefield is now home to hundreds of industries, IT parks, malls, international schools, hospitals and residential spaces and is linked to the city by two roads – Old Airport Road and Old Madras Road. Both these road traffic gridlocks, especially during peak hours, and hence there is a need to introduce alternate modes of transport such as metro and suburban trains.
In his petition Jerin M. Jose said, “It is well known that Marathahalli Bridge and Kundalahalli signal are major choke points on this route. If the metro could be extended from Marathahalli to Varthur Kodi and beyond, it would provide a major boost to connectivity on Varthur Road.
Of late the Varthur-Gunjur stretch is turning into a major residential hotspot. By the time phase 3 begins, the traffic on this stretch would increase manifolds with Varthur road and Panathur road providing the only exit options. A metro rail route on this stretch will benefit a large number of residents along Varthur road and help in taking out a lot of vehicles off the road.”
Jerin is not alone, many people who commute on this route feel the same. Ravi Gopal, an IT professional, pointed out, “Most of the people take the Varthur Road and this creates huge traffic gridlocks. Even to travel half kilometre, it sometimes takes one hour. We need metro as soon as possible.”
Voicing a similar opinion another commuter Kuljeet Singh said, “The authorities should have planned metro in this stretch under Phase 2 itself, but even if they do it under phase 3 it will be welcome.”
Abdul Rahim, who was in the city with his wife Yufsia and two children to take metro ride said, “I live in Dubai and my family lives in Kerala. We came here on a holiday and got to know about the metro’s underground line inauguration and chose to experience it. I must say the infrastructure provided here is very similar to Dubai. Excellent experience.”
Essa who works in Vasanth Nagar also came with his family and children to experience the ride. His son Kaif (13) said, “It is very joyful and this is my first metro ride. I am enjoying it.”
“Most of them were asking for a ticket to the last stop either Baiyappanahalli or Mysuru road. They just wanted to experience metro ride especially the underground stretch.
“Our family could travel by car earlier but it was just too far and too much hassle. Now, we just have to get into a train and get out at the park within 20 minutes,” said Lokesh Gowda, who stays in Vijayanagar and visited the park with his family on Sunday.
Even the Vidhana Soudha, which is normally deserted on Sundays, was full of people wanting to see the building after the barricades were removed.
Photographers, who usually have only some tourists visiting on Sundays, wore happy smiles on their faces as visitors flocked to the monument and lined up to get their pictures taken.
Cubbon Park in particular witnessed huge crowds, the likes of which have not been seen in a long time.
“I do not remember the last time when it was this crowded on a holiday. This has not been the case, unless there was some function or event. This is just not a normal Sunday,” said B.R. Rao, a regular walker at the park.
Steep rise in ridership
The total ridership on east-west corridor on Saturday was 90,482 as against an average of 20,000-22,000 from MG Road to Byappanahalli and Magadi Road to Mysore Road.
The total revenue generated on the first day of the opening of the east-west corridor was Rs 35 lakh. As for the frequency, from 8 am to 2 pm it was one train every 10 minutes, from 2 pm to 8 pm it was eight minutes, from 8 pm to 8.30 pm it was 10 minutes and from 8.30 pm to 10 pm it was 15 minutes.
Cheaper than AC buses, cabs
The cost of the Metro is said to be cheaper than BMTC AC buses and cabs. The fares range from Rs 10 to Rs 40 from East to West. Krishna Reddy, a 64-year-old farmer, clad in his traditional attire said, “We are here to visit High Court for some work and we chose Metro as it is less time consuming and cheaper. I paid just Rs 13 to travel in the air conditioned Metro to reach here.”
Boon for Soudha, HC employees
BMRCL officials said that many High court and Vidhan Soudha employees, residing in Vijayanagar and Rajajinagar areas, took the metro to reach their offices on Saturday morning.
Wheelchairs for senior citizens
The BMRCL provides assistance to senior citizens as the staff have been trained to help those in need. Also, the metro stations are equipped with wheelchairs. “We have laid special tiles across the Metro station for blind which lead them directly to the platform from the entrance,” said a BMRCL official.
Elaborate checks
For those carrying a heavy baggage, the security checks would be time consuming. A passenger has to go through a metal detector, a security check and baggage have to be sent through the scanners.
