Tejasvi Surya Advocates Metro Over Tunnel for Bengaluru's Traffic Woes

BJP MP Tejasvi Surya met with Karnataka's Deputy CM, D K Shivakumar, urging the cancellation of a proposed tunnel road in Bengaluru in favor of enhancing public transport networks. During their hour-long discussion, the focus was on sustainable, long-term solutions to address the city's traffic congestion.

Surya emphasized redirecting funds from the tunnel project to expand metro and suburban rail systems, arguing that these modes of transport are more effective in moving large numbers of people efficiently. He proposed dedicated bus loops along congested routes to further ease traffic.

While Shivakumar defended the tunnel's benefits, including reduced travel time and bypassing traffic bottlenecks, Surya's call for sustainable alternatives gained support. Further discussions with officials and industry leaders will explore these transportation strategies further.
