Bangalore A news article stated that construction in Bangalore would begin in 1999 and take 10 years to complete.  The system was very much in the planning stages, with much debate as to the desired transit mode. When completed, the 96 km system would have 4 lines, 87 stations and would be run by the Bangalore Metropolitan Transport Corporation. Of all the proposed systems in India, Bangalore was the city most likely to get the next hard system. In February 2004, a 2 line, 33 km system, including 6.7 km underground, was authorized by a planning commission panel. In 2005, tenders for the line began flowing in. In March, 2005, the BMRTL opened its Official Home Page for business.
