GBA Orders Site List for Multi-Level Parking at Namma Metro Stations

The planning push follows persistent shortfalls that push vehicles onto nearby residential streets.

Overview

  • BMRCL provides designated parking at 66 of 83 stations with capacity for about 12,000 two-wheelers and 2,300 cars.
  • At high-use hubs such as Jalahalli, Peenya Industry, Peenya, Indiranagar, Challaghatta and Kengeri, lots fill early and spillover blocks service roads and housing lanes.
  • GBA chief commissioner Maheshwar Rao directed officials in a coordination meeting to identify stations suitable for multi-level facilities.
  • The meeting included BMRCL representatives, the Bengaluru police commissioner and commissioners from five municipal corporations.
  • BMRCL cites high land costs and limited space, and says multi-level structures are being pursued at K. R. Pura and Majestic as shortages persist.
