Overbridge confusion cleared

May 04, 2016 12:00 am | Updated 05:30 am IST - Bengaluru:

The Bangalore Metro Rail Corporation and South Western Railways have reached an understanding about passengers alighting at the City Railway Metro Station after many were caught for ticketless entry to the railway station these past few days. The confusion arose owing to the lack of integration over a foot overbridge (FOB) between the railway station and the metro station, which should have been planned before operations began.

Officials say that the situation has been resolved. “We have reached an agreement with the Railways’ authorities. We will both put up a temporary office near the FOB adjacent to the electrical sub-station. We will also install signboards to guide passengers,” said U.A. Vasanth Rao, Spokesperson, BMRCL.
