Its high time Citizens of Bengaluru put pressure on the Officials of Railways and Karntaka state to take this Local Trains project forward. We need to ask our elected representative when all major cities in India have the full fledge service of the Local Trains on existing tracks, why is it Bngalurur is still struggling on this and other end Traffic is getting worse day by day. Even NAMMA METRO will cover only small portion of the city compared to Local Trains.
