Mangaluru, a prominent city in Karnataka, stands as an economic, educational, religious, and tourist nucleus within the state. Distinguished by its unique status, it boasts four modes of transportation—road, rail, air, and water—making it the sole city in Karnataka with such comprehensive connectivity. Home to pivotal railway stations including Mangaluru Central and Mangaluru Junction, alongside others like Tokkottu and Ullal, the latter being somewhat distant from the city center, Mangaluru Central serves as the primary railhead. Remarkably, while positioned in Karnataka, it caters predominantly to trains bound for Kerala and Tamil Nadu, with a noticeable imbalance in favor of these states over local and Konkan routes. This incongruity parallels the rail dynamics observed in Bengaluru, where Karnataka-bound trains are prioritized at KSR Bengaluru City Junction while Kerala and Tamil Nadu connections operate from SMVT Bengaluru. To rectify this, Mangaluru should emulate this approach, directing Karnataka-bound trains from Mangaluru Central and delegating...

By fostering Ullal as a terminal station and relocating the goods depot to Panambur, and enhancing Bunder station, a harmonious redistribution of rail traffic could be achieved, elevating the significance of Karnataka and Konkan connections at Mangaluru Central.
please wait...Translate to EnglishMangaluru, a big city in Karnataka, is like a hub for money, education, god stuff, and tourists in the state. It's special 'cause it has four ways to get around - roads, trains, planes, and boats! No other city in Karnataka has all that. The main train stations are Mangaluru Central and Mangaluru Junction, but there are others too, like Tokkottu and Ullal. Ullal is a bit far from the city though. So, Mangaluru Central is the big train station that mostly serves trains going to Kerala and Tamil Nadu, instead of just local or Konkan routes in Karnataka. This same thing happens in Bengaluru, where trains going to Karnataka go from KSR Bengaluru City Junction and Kerala/Tamil Nadu trains go from SMVT Bengaluru. To fix this, Mangaluru should copy Bengaluru and send trains going to Karnataka from Mangaluru Central, and send Kerala/Tamil Nadu trains from Ullal station, which is easier to get to by road. They should also make Ullal a main station and move the goods depot to Panambur, and improve Bunder station too. This way, there'll be a better balance of trains and more importance to Karnataka and Konkan connections at Mangaluru Central.

Iske alag aur special darje ki vajah se, iske paas chaar prakar ke transportation hai - sadak, rail, hawai jahaz aur jal - jiski vajah se ye ek matr aisa shahar hai jisme Karnataka me itni vistrit jod joj hai. Mangaluru Central aur Mangaluru Junction jaise kuch mukhya railway stations, sath hi Tokkottu aur Ullal jaise anya stations bhi hai, jiske bich me Ullal thoda dur hokar rehta hai, Mangaluru Central mukhya railhead ke roop me kam karta hai. Adbhut tarike se, jabki Karnataka me sthit hai, ye prinanarayan Kerala aur Tamil nadu ke liye traino ka sampark karne me adhik dhyan dete hai, local aur Konkan routes ke tulna me. Ye anurupata rail dynamics Bengaluru me bhi dekhi jaati hai, jaha pe Karnataka ki aur jaane wali trainev KSR Bengaluru City Junction se priority prapt karti hai, jabki Kerala aur Tamil Nadu ke sampark SMVT Bengaluru se chalte hai. Isko sudharne ke liye, Mangaluru ko ye approach apnana chahiye, Karnataka ki aur jaane wali trains ko Mangaluru Central se jari rakhte hue Kerala aur Tamil Nadu ke route ko Ullal station ko dena chahiye, jo sadak ke dwara aasani se accessible hai. Ullal ko ek terminal station ke roop me badhava dena aur maal depot ko Panambur me badha kar, Bunder station ko bhi badhakar, rail traffic ka ek samriddh punrvitaran ho sakta hai, jisse Mangaluru Central me Karnataka aur Konkan ke sampark ka mahattv badha sakta hai.
