KR runs most of its trains to and fro between MAO and mumbai. With merger of MAQ with KR we can expect more trains to mumbai. We kannadigas want connectivity intrastate first and then to other state capitals. I think for a state to develop there should seamless connectivity between major towns/ cities beyond barriers like ghats and landscape related issues. MAQ should have direct trains to DVG, UBL, BAY, BGM, BJP, KLBG, BIDR. Mangaluru being one of the major cities in Karnataka has sidelined by PGT, SR since years. With respect to VSG, I agree VSG has been neglected under SWR. But with doubling between VSG-UBL i believe things will change. Tomorrow a new train is being flagged off between VSG-BGM.
