ಮೇನ್ಸ್

GS3 (Infrastructure): Rapid urbanisation strains road transport in cities like Bengaluru, and metro rail is the policy response, built through special-purpose joint-venture companies such as BMRCL with equal Centre-State equity. The implication is shared financing and shared accountability for cost and timelines. The way forward is faster last-mile connectivity, integration with buses and suburban rail, and sustainable fare and funding models.
