Status: Analysis in Progress as of 30 December, 2021
“Metro Station Area Access Plans (SAAP) are proposed to reduce the requirement for commuters to bring their personal vehicle or use public transport for their commute to and from metro stations. For each station, area of 1km radius will be covered under the SAAP to improve the road network to TenderSure specifications. It shall also assess the demand for park-and-ride, the last mile destinations (and distances), currently available last mile mode options etc. SAAP shall propose plans to integrate required last mile modes within the station area for passenger convenience. The SAAP shall also propose critical intervention areas to improve safety of pedestrians in station areas, identify bottleneck locations and suggest solutions to ease traffic movement. To begin with 4 terminal stations and 11 other stations in areas having high population density are proposed for implementing SAAP, and thereafter other stations are to be covered.” (BMRCL et al., 2020, p. 4-42)
CMP 2020 sees the SAAP projects as a way to meet the NUTP Objective to “Encourage greater use of public transport and non-motorized modes”. (BMRCL et al., 2020, p. 4-42)
The stations identified are given in Table 4-14 reproduced below. (BMRCL et al., 2020, p-4-42)

| 12. | Peenya |
| 13. | Peenya Industry |
| 14. | Dasarahalli |
The map below identifies only these stations. Other stations are not shown.
The map below shows the area that will be considered as part of the SAAP projects, that is, a one-kilometer radius around each station.
The description of the SAAP projects defines the first objective as reducing the need for commuters to bring their vehicles or use public transport in their commute to and from metro stations. This leaves on-demand shared mobility services, shuttles, and walking as options. For now, let’s focus on walking. It is generally accepted that people are comfortable walking 500m. For an adult, this would take about 6 minutes. While a circle with a radius of 500m is often drawn to indicate the walkable distance, it is more useful to look at a route-based walkable distance; this helps exclude private property and inaccessible areas. The map below identifies these walkable areas. Additionally, areas accessible in 10 minutes and 15 minutes (the-fifteen-minute-city) are also shown.
Although patterns begin to emerge from this map, it would be more useful to focus on just the roads. Further, it is interesting to note that the one-kilometer radius buffers and walkable areas overlap for many of the metro stations. Development within these overlapped areas would benefit multiple stations and would be an efficient use of resources. Keeping this in mind, it would also make sense to align the analysis accordingly and divide the metro stations into groups, as indicated in the table below.
Use the links in the table to navigate to specific sections.
| Link | Stations Included |
|---|---|
| Group 1 | Nagasandra Station, Dasarahalli Station, Peenya Industry Station, Peenya Station |
| Group 2 | Yeshwantpur Station, Sandal Soap Factory Station, Mahalakshmi Station, Rajajinagar Station, Mahakavi Kuvempu Road Station, Sriramapura Station, Sampige Mantri Square Station |
| Group 3 | Nayandanahalli Station |
| Group 4 | Yellachanahalli Station |
| Group 5 | Baiyapannahalli Station |
Within the one-kilometer radius buffers are a number of bus stops. The map below shows the location of these stops and the time it would take to walk to the metro station from them. Three of the four stations have bus stops within a 6 minute walk of them.
Other projects from the CMP 2020 that are within these one-kilometer radius buffer areas are shown in the map below. (Note: This will change as the geo-referencing process continues. More projects may be included.)
