| BRMCL proposes to introduce Rs. 600-crore project, which is a walkway equipped with electric cars, on 10-acre lifestyle centre at Byappannahalli Metro station; Bangalore will be first city in the country to introduce this facility
Buoyed by the overwhelming response to its Metro services, the BMRCL is now planning to introduce a 'travelator' a walkway equipped with electric cars. If the BMRCL has its way, Bangalore will be the first city in the entire country to introduce the services.
Besides the proposed travelator project at the Commuter Lifestyle Centre at the Byappanahalli Metro Station, the BMRCL proposes to develop a convention centre on the lines of the India Habitat Centre, Delhi
The pioneering mega project is expected to cost about Rs. 600 crore and will be a part of the 10 acre Commuter Lifestyle Centre at the Byappanahalli Metro Station.
The travelators will circumnavigate the entire building complex and provide commuters easy assess between the Centre and the Metro station.
Expansion plans
The Bangalore Metro, which opened services on the Reach 1 from Byappanahalli to MG Road for the general public last week, has received a tremendous response from commuters. The BMRCL is now looking at property development too.
"We are looking at developing a convention centre on the lines of the India Habitat Centre, Delhi. The Centre will have a hypermart, a 3-star hotel and even an art gallery. The estimated cost of the project as of now is Rs. 600 crore," said B L Y Chavan, spokesperson, BMRCL.
So what is actually a travelator and how does it work? "Travelator is a moving walkway very much like an escalator but covers a longer distance than the latter.
It will provide easy and fast accessibility for the visitors to the centre. We are also looking at the possibility of electric cars. All this will be part of the whole project and will take over four years for completion." added Chavan.
