My assumption is that now, they're focusing on completing the extension from Baiyappanahalli to Whitefield as part of Namma Metro Phase 1-A.. after that they might construct it or might do it during the completion of this extension....

What is the status of quadrapling at BNC? When I travelled few months back, I saw they had made up space from BNC outer till BNCE to lay the third and fourth track. Also, I guess BNC will get additional PFs near PF.No.1A.

Well it would all improve later on hopefully. As someone said an overbridge connecting SMVB to Baiyappanahalli metro would be good. Even better would be to provide a moving walkway similar to the ones found on the airport, considering the distance involved. Metro rail system is the future of intracity travel, and SMVB needs to be connected somehow to it. Even Kempegowda Airport needs to be connected with the metro rail system. Bengaluru is already the third largest city of India and is only going to expand, hence any investment on an effective public transport system is going to go a long way to ease the life of the inhabitants. If SMVB is not connected to metro system KJM would become even more popular for travellers as it is soon going to have a metro station close by.

While the metro as mode of transport is indeed good, one issue in having them close to stations is that they almost become impossible to get in with heavy luggage. I have seen many time in Majestic stn passengers being shooed away by guards asking them to either go to the last bogie or wait for a more emptier train to arrive.

They are making travel out of reach of common person.
