Hoodi Halt railway station (station code: HDIH) is an Indian Railways station located in Hoodi, Bangalore, in the Indian state of Karnataka. It is about 38 kilometres (24 mi) from the Bangalore City railway station and serves Hoodi, Whitefield and the International Tech Park area.[1]
Demand
[edit]The demand for a stop at Hoodi from 2013 reflected the needs of commuters in the Whitefield area, who actively campaigned for better transportation options. They utilized public forums and social media to raise awareness about their concerns and to advocate for the establishment of a transit stop.[2] This kind of grassroots effort highlights the importance of community engagement in addressing local transportation issues.
A footbridge was constructed in April 2019.
Structure and expansion
[edit]Hoodi Halt has two platforms, each 400 metres (1,300 ft) long, shelters, lighting, benches and a booking office.[3]
