My personal opinion wrt to the city of Bangalore has been that authorities & public only seem to wake up when the situation becomes really bad. They should have thought of the same much ahead. It is impossible to think of adding an existing line for suburban services in the already congested SBC-Whitefield stretch. Also YPR-Hosur line doubling is also very difficult as one can see lots of residential apartments in close proximity to the tracks. Not sure how all of these can be solved . In the current scenario this seems to be a tough ask.
But lets hope for the best !

Bengaluru has the largest fleet of city buses in the world. The need for suburban trains was never felt, with depots spread evenly across outskirts and catering to even far flung villages. Now with ever growing migration and everyone wanting to own a vehicle, the traffic mess has pushed all to look for alternatives.

These campaigns are mostly by those on the Tin factory and ORR route travellers. They are the IT crowd who get their each and every demand into newsprint. Media is customer-centric not news-centric.

It means common man will no more suffer the traffic chaos :), only rich AC car travelers will get stuck there :P. Good at-least it will help majority of travelers
Agree with you. Looking at the audience who were in the protest march including some celebrities, one doubts whether they have ever travelled in the existing passenger trains . But anywys the issue seems to have been highlighted. Lets see how it progresses
True. Even the govt. to negate the ill will it got from the steel flyover wants to remedy its image somewhat by introducing a few MEMUs from its own fund. Also with Metro work picking up pace on Tin factory-WFD sections, the mess needs some solutions hence this sudden clamour for suburban trains.
