Double-decker flyover: Bangalore Metro Rail Corporation Ltd yet to get Rs 450cr from state

Bengaluru: Bangalore Metro Rail Corporation Ltd (BMRCL) is yet to receive the Rs 450 crore reimbursement promised by the state govt in 2017-18 for the Yellow Line's double-decker flyover between Ragigudda and Central Silk Board. The design change was approved on the assurance that the govt would bear the cost of the road flyover component. The city's first double-decker flyover — built after demolishing the Jayadeva flyover — took years to complete. In July 2024, BMRCL partially opened the 5km road flyover from Ragigudda to Silk Board, including ramps built around the Silk Board junction, for motorists travelling towards Silk Board. According to sources, BMRCL has repeatedly sought reimbursement, including during high-power committee (HPC) meetings, but funds haven't been released. In Namma Metro projects, the state and central govts share costs, but road components within Metro projects fall under the state's responsibility.

The proposed stretches include Hebbal to JP Nagar 4th Phase along Outer Ring Road and Hosahalli to Kadabagere on Magadi Road. Phase III of Namma Metro is estimated to cost Rs 15,611 crore, with an additional Rs 9,000 crore required for the road flyovers. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Use an AI Writing Tool That Actually Understands Your Voice Grammarly Install Now Undo Deputy chief minister DK Shivakumar has urged Prime Minister Narendra Modi to allocate Rs 8,916 crore for the project. Urban mobility experts argue that road flyovers don't reduce congestion and instead encourage private vehicle use, whereas Metro expansion should be prioritised to strengthen public transport. A source said, "The issue of reimbursement of expenses incurred towards execution of the road flyover as part of the Metro project has been going on for a long time. In the recent meeting, the issue was discussed in the HPC. It was noted that the work has helped ease traffic congestion for vehicles heading towards Silk Board and for those crossing from there towards HSR Layout and Hosur Road. The urban development department will take up the matter with the finance department for reimbursement. " Stay updated with the latest local news from your city on Times of India (TOI).

CUMTA to roll out app to integrate metro, bus, last-mile connectivity

Chennai: Chennai unified metropolitan transport authority (CUMTA) will roll out a single ticketing app in the first week of September to integrate Metro Rail, MTC buses, Namma Yatri autos, and cabs. MRTS and suburban trains will be added later this year. While cities like Mumbai and Bengaluru already have integrated ticketing for buses and metros, Chennai's app will make it the first initiative in India to bring cabs, autos, buses, metros, and trains onto one platform. For example, a commuter travelling from Nandanam to VR Mall can open the app, whose name is yet to be finalised, enter start and end points, and receive the best route. This could mean taking the metro to Koyambedu and then a Namma Yatri auto to the mall, with a single QR code generated for the entire journey. Once the commuter exits at Koyambedu, the auto will be booked automatically, with payment for the auto made separately.

Agreements with Southern Railways for MRTS and suburban trains are in the pipeline. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like American Investor Warren Buffett Recommends: 5 Books For Turning Your Life Around Blinkist: Warren Buffett's Reading List Undo CUMTA aims to promote 'Mobility as a Service', encouraging people to choose public transport. With MTC's 34.5 lakh daily riders, suburban and MRTS rail's 9.27 lakh, Metro's 3.3 lakh, and over 7,000 Namma Yatri trips a day, the service will unite all modes in five phases. Phase two will integrate fares, and phase three will extend the service beyond the city. The app, initially called 'Anna-Ride Booking', will get its official name and logo next month after a meeting with chief minister M K Stalin and CUMTA's chairperson. Commuter Rithvik K, at Thousand Lights Metro, said, "This is great if implemented without bugs. Half the time I fear cancellations from drivers of cab aggregators. If this app books an auto automatically, that worry is gone." Principal architect in Urban Design Collaborative, Nirmal S John Britto, said, "Cities like London have a similar app called Citymapper, so this is a first for India. But like Google Maps, it must adapt to Indian realities. In the West, apps give real-time updates on road closures or repairs. We don't have that here. It should also recognise micro-streets in areas like Sowcarpet or Royapettah, which add historical value for first-time commuters. Without that, it may fall short."

IBM to support Maharashtra in developing quantum computing initiative

Global tech giant IBM on Wednesday said it will support Maharashtra in developing its quantum computing initiative. The US-headquartered company having a presence in the western state also signed a letter of intent with the Maharashtra government to identify opportunities of support for the state's quantum initiatives, as per a statement. IBM will offer expertise, which Maharashtra may use to help craft its own quantum initiative, and also contribute to the development of the state's quantum ecosystem through workshops and other skills development efforts. "Through our collaboration with IBM, we will harness quantum innovation to transform lives, while building a skilled talent pool to democratise its benefits and make them accessible to every citizen of the state," Maharashtra chief minister Devendra Fadnavis said. The company's general manager for Asia Pacific Hans Dekkers said the effort should be seen as a commitment to help Maharashtra build its own vibrant quantum ecosystem. IBM India and south Asia's Managing Director Sandip Patel welcomed the opportunity to engage with the state government on advancing quantum computing skills. Fadnavis on Wednesday inaugurated the tech major's client experience centre at a new facility in the country's financial capital which is designed to support Indian enterprises' use of AI, hybrid cloud, and quantum computing. The centre will serve as a place where experts from the company and partners can create solutions for India's business challenges. It will also have solutions and services from the company's AI portfolio, including the watsonx platform, data and automation, cybersecurity, hybrid cloud, and consulting-led transformation.
