While agreeing with you, I have to state certain facts about MAJN:
It is railways' responsibility to ensure connectivity to stations built by them, by coordinating with local transport authorities (like KSRTC, private bus association, police etc). KSRTC would be happy to run buses from Mangalore bus stand/ State Bank/ MAQ station to MAJN Station.
As people travelling to Kerala/ TN get trains from MAQ, SR PGT is not bothered about connectivity to MAJN. Most of the Mangaloureans travel to Bangalore, Hubli, Davanagere etc in Karnataka,...
more... and to Mumbai, Delhi and other north Indian cities. But SR PGT is adamant in not allowing Konkan trains or Karnataka trains to MAQ.
Situation may improve if 2 trains to TVC and MAS each are shifted to MAJN.
please wait...Translate to EnglishI agree with you, but let me tell you some facts about MAJN. It's the responsibility of the railways to make sure that there is proper transportation to the stations they build. They should coordinate with local transport authorities like KSRTC, private bus association, police, etc. KSRTC would be happy to run buses from Mangalore bus stand, State Bank, and MAQ station to MAJN Station. But SR PGT, who is in charge of trains to Kerala and Tamil Nadu from MAQ, doesn't care about connectivity to MAJN. Most people from Mangalore travel to cities in Karnataka like Bangalore, Hubli, Davanagere, or to Mumbai, Delhi, and other northern Indian cities. But SR PGT is stubborn and doesn't allow Konkan trains or Karnataka trains to MAQ. The situation might get better if they shift two trains each to TVC and MAS to MAJN.
