That the Metro Rail project may finally see the light of day, has come as good news to many Bangaloreans. The reason is not hard to find: There is an urgent need for an efficient and comfortable public transport. This has brought back focus on public transport in the City, which still doesn't compare with similar systems in Chennai, Mumbai or even Hyderabad. Additional buses are welcome, but have they actually helped reduce the swelling number of two, three and four-wheelers on our streets?
