Last few days it was BUS and Traffic issues was an hot discussion among lot of Bangaloreans,So for a change lets divert and talk something about Trains/Railway station.

Few days back I had visited the Bangalore City Railway station & witnessed lot of improvements in the station and also on-going constructions works in various platforms, in the entrance they have made a good lobby, Improvements in platform 1 etc…. However few more platforms under-construction which will improve the things there too.
The best thing I found at first look at the entrance was a “Platform Ticket Vending Machine” where you put three 1 Rs coins to get one platform ticket, there is a machines which do accept the currency too, This has made the visitors in the station avoiding the long queue to get the platform ticket manually. This facility was introduced some where a year back.

Hope in later stage they will bring up such machines even to buy the regular train tickets too!!!

Today morning I saw an update in news papers regarding Bangalore City Railway station has introduced a passenger carrying electric car from the main lobby to various platforms, however the facility now available only from lobby to Platform 1 & later will extend to various platforms.
