Most Infra news YouTubers just regurgitate the same news we see online or in papers. You though, have added a lot of information that’s not found elsewhere. Keep up the great work!

[adityaln]

I think BMRCL is making the right choice with the january opening, there might be overcrowding and complaints about frequency in the first week or so but its better than no service

[naveenalla]

Thank You very much for all the efforts you kept and bring out the video of 32 minutes and it's completely enlightened
Thank you for sharing the knowledge

10:40 That PHPDT analysis and visualization was excellent

[barryobrien]

Don't worry, these are just optimistic dates with zero planning, so expect many more delays. It will be by luck only if any trains are running on the yellow line by Jan 2026. People have been waiting many many years for service so another year is expected. Despite all the promises for 2024, we just got 3 more stations added. Keep up the good work, but don't put any faith in the promised dates as they always change

[thestalematecrew]

this is some really good analysis. Great video!

[divided_by_]

Kudos, Appreciate the level of details captured, the effort to collect all the information is commendable. Really liked how you explained concept of PHPDT .

Great work

[bis_j]

Blog is made with great detail, granularity with realistic timeline

[dspower]

Thanks for giving holistic view of metro operations, I was wondering why on earth it's taking so long to operate yellow lines despite of being ready from long time.

[pajayrao]

Would love to see similar updates on Bengaluru Suburban Rail Project :)

[pranavbalakrishnan]

Absolutely love your approach and updates, please keep it up! Also, please never stop being critical of dumb decisions and issues with all authorities. Unfortunately, it seems like we have lost the ability to critically analyse anything in the country anymore.

If possible, we would really appreciate an update on the BSRP project. I understand it's a little harder to get information on this project but it's also a pivotal project for the city!

[sniperline]

Love your videos, so informative!
But can you do something about the background 😅

[arehmanak]

For the Yellow line, with just 3 trains operational in Jan 25, the passenger load cant be managed if the trains stop at all stations. Load be reduced if stops are limited, say, just Eletronics City, Silk board, BTM and RV road. All stations can be made operational once more trains are available, but limited operations should start by Jan25

[viveknarasimhamurthy]

Amazing work, subscribed with bell, Loe to see more, Most info is in newspaper, but your in depth analysis kept the 32 min finish just like that. Thank you.

[thunkwaltz]

Why did they not considered joining Orange line with Blue Line at Silk Board? It could have been easier for people travelling either ways, now they will have to change 4 lines.

Excellent journalism as always! You never fail to deliver!

[vara]

Nice, report is in detail. No other media has reported the way you have done. Thank you.

[Vinaykumarel]

Even Snails 🐌 🐌 are faster than BMRCL.. Shame on them for choosing delinquent contractors.

[KarthikR-is]
