00:00So much better, money saving, time saving also.
00:12So we can save the time and we can stay at some safe place either in office or at home.
00:18So it's very good actually.
00:30It's actually our first time.
00:32Yeah, first time. We are actually coming from Yashvindpur.
00:35So like that, we can go to electronic city in like 40 minutes or 50 minutes.
00:42Travelling in bus, it will take around like 4 to 5.
00:45We stay in electronic city only but we are having friends in Yashvindpur.
00:49So for us it is very good, beneficial.
00:51Earlier you were travelling in the same route?
00:53Yeah, same route.
00:54We used to have a bike but in traffic, no, it is so hard to reach here.
00:58So metro is…
00:59Adir, how much time?
01:01It will take around 1 hour, like 45 to 1 hour.
01:05Just to reach Madiwal.
01:07It will take 1 hour in bike.
01:10So now it's so easy.
01:12Now it's like 20 minutes far.
01:16So it's very comfortable.
01:18Up and down from Bhamnali, it would be 250-260.
01:23At least I think it would be 60.
01:27So much better.
01:29Money saving, time saving also.
01:32So trains, you know, just 1 bit.
01:34It will be easier.
01:35But then what we are getting around, it's better than what we had before.
01:40Travelling, it used to take 1 and half hours.
01:43Time saving, hopefully it's time saving in the future as well.
01:46It is a much avoided one also.
01:48Because I work in Whitefield.
01:50I am staying in Chandaburah.
01:52I have to travel very far.
01:53So this will be very useful for us.
01:55You are regularly travelling here?
01:57No, this is…
01:58My house is nearby only.
02:00So now it's very nice that we are getting that…
02:03We are getting connected to that city.
02:05So we can go too far away from here.
02:07Then your traffic is horrible.
02:10Yeah.
02:11That Silkboard junction itself is too much having traffic.
02:13So we will change the metro there itself.
02:18How do you feel now?
02:19It's 4 years before heavy traffic.
02:23There was too traffic.
02:24Now that there are so many flyovers are built.
02:27Still the traffic is too much.
02:28It takes around 1 and half hours to reach office now itself.
02:31So with this metro, we will get that decrease to approximately 40 minutes, 45 minutes like that.
02:36We can connect to office.
02:38What you will do with that 40 minutes?
02:40We can stay at home.
02:42We can leave a little late.
02:44We don't know.
02:45See, the weather is also not every time good, right?
02:47So we can save the time and we can stay at some safe place, right?
02:52Either in office or at home.
02:53Being Bangalorean, other city people will come day to day job.
03:00Yeah, right.
03:01But if you are a Bangalorean, you feel no city should improve.
03:05Something should be done.
03:06That potholes should be improved.
03:08Potholes are everywhere.
03:09At every place, potholes are there.
03:11So that should be improved.
03:13That should be improved.
03:14Modi inaugurated the metro.
03:17Modi and Sidramaya.
03:18Yeah.
03:19So both the parties, they came.
03:21So what do you feel about Modi and our…
03:23It's good.
03:24This metro itself is in 50-50 partnership between Central and State.
03:28So that's why they have inaugurated.
03:29Both of them came together and inaugurated.
03:31Modi also inaugurated some Wandebhar train yesterday.
03:34And they have again, I think, phase three of metro they have approved.
03:38Right?
03:39That orange line.
03:40So that is also good.
03:41The appeal of state and nation is in the right hands.
03:44Right.
