Citizens for Bengaluru (CfB) is expanding its scope beyond the flyover project and will soon begin a fight for better public transport in the city.
CfB will hold its first strategy meet on Saturday to design its next campaign #LocalTrainBeku, demanding a commuter rail service for the city. “Whenever we oppose the steel flyover project, we are asked what alternatives we offer. We are now coming up with a constructive campaign to press for a sustainable alternative mode of public transport,” said Srinivas Alavilli of CfB.
This is expected to give a shot in the arm to the decade-old citizens’ movement for a commuter rail network.
