Finally, the much awaited Namma Bengalooru Metro service starts this Thursday October 20 2011.
The first stage will cover the following routes:-
Mahatma Gandhi Road Station towards Byappanahalli(vice-versa) through Sir M. Visheshwarya, Vidhan Soudha, Cubbon Park, MG Road, Halasaru, Indiranagar and Swami Vivekananda Road(Old Madras Road).
The trains will stop for 30 seconds each at each station and will run at a frequency of 30 minutes.
To quote BMRCL MD N Sivasailam:

To quote BMRCL MD N Sivasailam:
"The Bangalore Metro, in terms of technology, is comparable to any metro rail system in the world - in Europe , USA or China - and is even ahead of some of them"
According to a report in the TOI, "Trains will be Wi-Fi enabled, so passengers can use laptops, tablets as well as mobile internet."
As an "immigrant" but permanent resident of this lovely city, I am pretty excited to go on my maiden metro trip and am hoping it will be this weekend.
Here is my route map on how I will reach the station:
Well, just in case you did not get it, the idea was to boast how close I stay to the metro station :)
