Continuation from previous post
At almost 7.45AM we reached metro station in MG road. opposite to our expectations whole station was empty with few passangers countable.
Well quite there was a security check at MG road station, the security personal checked with metal detector and he even asked me to empty my pockets to show him my 2 cell phones and 2 cameras. I felt little awkward because if this guy checks in detail similar to airport authorities, if there is a huge rush how they can possibly handle. but my expectations came false when returning from Baiyyappanahalli (end destination) there was no security check at all. but i dont know why they have increased the security check in MG road, because there was a x ray luggage scanner similar to one we find in airport. Though the station is big and has got whole area monitored inch to inch by cctv's, escalators, lift, fine finished flooring, i found out that it misses the common ammunities such as a 'wash room'. 'photography' is prohibited but i defyd the rule as am "indian" and i did my bit violating.
The train as of now, travells from MG road to Byappahalli. it takes hardly 10 mins, same by bus it takes hrs together. The cost is 15rs/person. only one side ticket is available.
Ticket is a digital chip encoded black plastic token(coin).
While Entering we have to keep that coin on the space above access doors, once you keep it opens and you have to take coin with you untill ride ends at the end, during exits from the station you have to drop the coin like "hundi" in temple to get exit.my belief is if am travelling lesser distance coin should be dropped in that particular station it self, else it doesn't gives exit i guess.. what the fish. who knows what to do if i miss station and jumps on next. coin on purchase need to be accessed within 20mins of your purchase.
Coming to train, there's trains running every 10 mins so no need to wait longer, on time reach and no delays. Train doors open and close within approx 30 to 35 sec in between which commuters has to board or un-board the train. Train is a/c fitted and on board announcement system and display systems assisting about the stop station and instructions.
Train is fitted with state of the art technology with advanced security systems and communication system. each coach is fitted with cctv's. with one row of seat, it is especially made for standing commuters. due to interlocking of doors and a/c coach the coach will be less in noise. with large window panes it is best to have exterior view.
it was pleasant travel,.. i liked it, when i reached byapnahalli we went out to have the glimpse of undergoing projects of metro for extension of services.
As i said before there were no security check at byappanahalli, we took ticket and went back. I noticed that the fellow travellers where same as us, who just came to experience the ride..
we waited for few mins and the train arrived as promised.

Conclusion:"Namma Metro" is awesome and better way of transport to reach destination on time.
Stay tuned..
