Q Near my house on Banargata road, Metro construction started I don't know, 10 years ago. It's still going on. So at some level, like you're saying public infra has not kept up and maybe it can't. Is it somebody's fault that it hasn't kept up?
A No, I don't think so. I think, uh, uh, end of the day, the, uh, Intention is what matters, right? See, had there no thinking of will improve public transport at all, I think it would have been a worse off situation. Just to give you an example, when the biopinality line got connected to the wild field line, right? Automatically peak our traffic reduced by 17%. Automatically. That just shows how, just interlinking to this thing, or how important public transport is. So now a lot of impetus is given. So the long term solution to Bangalore's problems are public transport, whether it's K-ride, suburban trains, or it is a metro, every increase in the fleet, whatever it is, I think that that's the way to go forward. And that's where it is. It is just that the implementation has taken some time, but when it comes in, you will definitely see a change. Like for example, Outerring Road line opens for Metro. Not only will the Metro be available, even the carriage space where the Metro work is going on, which has reduced because of the Metro work would not be there. I mean, you'd get the full entire 10 lane available to you. I think it would improve. I think, uh, that's the way to go. And in the short term measures like implementation of AI based signals, um, um, technology implementation of or leveraging technology, uh, some short term works, civil works also like a junction redesign, um,…
