A collective of active citizens, non-governmental organisations, sustainable transport experts, and other stakeholders has called for strengthening the public transport network in Tamil Nadu's cities, making it accessible to all and creating low-emission zones across urban centres. The Sustainable Mobility Network (SMN), a coalition of over 30 civil society organisations across India, has released the 'Tamil Nadu Urban Mobility Charter 2031', a comprehensive roadmap urging political parties and governments to put sustainable mobility at the heart of the state’s development agenda.

It would be interesting to get a chart for stations like Byappanahalli, KR Puram, etc.
For eg, there are also a few other trains to KR Puram – Sanghamitra express 12295 which leaves around 9 from City station and reaches around 9:30 AM.
Byappanahalli has some more trains like the ones going towards Kolar. (76551)
The Arakkonam passenger(56262) that leaves at 8:45 AM is a sad train that is always de-prioritised. I spent 3 months commuting between the City and KR Puram and have seen this train being on time maybe twice max. It is usually made to stand by at Byappanahalli so that the SF Sanghamitra express can go ahead.
In general, if you have to take a train to get to work in Whitefield the best option is the Chennai SF(12610), which is usually on time, maybe 10 mins late max.
Please arrange for some local trains from K.R.Puram to Yeshwanthpur so that the dependabilty on cabs,buses will come down.
although here are n number of trains commuting between bangalore to tumkur none of them are on time and especially for office goers. either it is too early as 7:45 ( 2 trains ). The conveyance by train is good only for commuters between tumkur bangalore tumkur and not bangalore -tumkur bangalore. A slight change in the train timings bot morning and evening ie from yeshvanthpur at 9 towards tumkur instead of 9:25 and sharp 5:45 from tumkur towards bangalore will help a lot of commuters to save time and money. My earnest request to shedule this timimgs.

from yeshwantha pura number of trains is departing in between 1 30 p m to 4 30 pm
