In the mean time the two agendas of Central Government should boost transportation infrastructure of Port City with Hinterland.

1. Dedicated Freight Corridor along Mangalore-Bangalore-Chennai announced by Railway Minister DV Sadananda Gowda

“I am planning to push for the Mangalore-Bangalore-Chennai freight corridor. We have to work out the details with the state government, the Union Surface Transport and Shipping Ministry. Similarly, Railways is also planning to implement the ‘Coal Corridor’ connecting coal mines to thermal plants,” he said.
Hopefully this should free existing railway track for passenger traffic.

2. 13 degree Latitudinal Expressway along Mangalore-Bangalore-Chennai announced in 17-point agenda of Prime Minister

Laying stress on connectivity and power with “service goals” set to improve transportation within the country, it proposes a network of coastal expressways on the east and west coasts, connected to each other through latitude expressways (to be called Akshansh Marg Expressways) at 13 degrees, 15 degrees and 17 degrees.

Along with this state government also expressed some more interest in improving internal connectivity.
