The document discusses the pros and cons of metro rail systems compared to bus transport systems. It notes that metro systems are much more expensive to build, often costing hundreds of crores per kilometer compared to only 2-60 crores per kilometer for bus routes. Metros also take significantly longer to construct. The document further argues that metros in cities like Delhi and Kolkata have not effectively reduced traffic or pollution issues and questions whether the large investments and disruptions are worthwhile given that alternative bus systems could provide improvements more quickly at lower cost. It advocates for improving bus transport as a better option for Bangalore compared to the metro rail project.
