#Personal2Public campaign to encourage IT corridor to switch to metro

The Hindu  

With an aim to reduce the usage of personal vehicles, the Bengaluru Political Action Committee, in consortium with World Resources Institute launched #Personal2Public campaign on Thursday, encouraging office goers to switch to metro rail at least twice a week. Srinivas Alavilli, a Fellow at WRI said, “2023 is a transformative year for Bengaluru’s public transportation system with metro lines reaching Whitefield and Electronics City.” To analyse the commuters’ travel patterns and identify gaps in metro access, the campaign is also conducting a #P2P Bengaluru Commuter Survey. In a significant collaboration between citizens, the government, Auto Rickshaw Driver Union and corporates, the P2P team wishes to deploy public transportation services like metro feeder buses and auto rickshaws in previously neglected areas. This will help develop Bengaluru’s cityscape in conjunction with the public transportation system, said Revathy Ashoka CEO, B.PAC.
