Re: The Bangalore Metro rail (BMRCL) thread!

My office is moving to Mahadevpura. Access to the nearest metro from home is either a 40 min walk,, a Rs 130 cab ride, a 10 min bus ride + 15 min walk. Add to this, I will most probably have to stand all the way. (I am 61).

The thought of driving at 7 am to beat the traffic might be the only option

If your office is at the Bagmane Complex be wary of the Marathahalli junction early in the morning (6:00-7:00). Traffic piles up because:

1. Nobody follows the traffic signal at the top of the bridge and it's a free for all when open

2. Or if the junction is blocked traffic is made to come up the service road and make a U turn further along old airpot road to connect back to the ring road which causes a mess.

The safest bet is taking Old Madras Road.

Then take OMR. I find it has less traffic to and from Whitefield at all times since the metro has started.
