Namma Metro -- Bengaluru's very own Metro Rail system -- will go live sometime today [more here, here, , here, here].
An editorial in DNA has declared the arrival or Bangalore 3.0! .
Right now, it covers only a 7 km stretch from M.G. Road downtown to Baiyappanahalli in East Bengaluru -- in a direction away from where we are, but one of the lines will come our way (it's still about a kilometer from our Institute). All in all, when the entire project is finished, a fairly large part of our great city will come under Namma Metro's benevolent coverage. [There's also at least one special line that will connect the city to the airport, some 35 km from downtown.]
Historic day for all of us at Bengaluru.

Churumuri has fabulous pictures of the MG Road station -- taken one day before the launch. Eye Candy!
