GS3 (Infrastructure) and GS2 (Governance): urban mass transit is central to decongesting cities like Bengaluru, but project timelines depend on statutory safety certification. CMRS clearance under the metro laws ensures passenger safety, yet delays in inspection, rolling stock and systems integration push back openings. Way forward: parallel clearances, better inter-agency coordination and integrated last-mile connectivity to raise ridership.
