Bengaluru:
The much-awaited Yellow Line of Namma Metro officially opened to the public and instantly made history. On its very first day of operation, the Yellow Line pushed Bengaluru Metro’s ridership to an all-time high of 10 lakh passengers, setting a new benchmark for urban public transport in the city.
A Milestone for Namma Metro
The Yellow Line, which connects RV Road to Bommasandra, is seen as a game-changer for commuters in Bengaluru’s southern and industrial zones. By linking key residential hubs with IT corridors and manufacturing clusters, the new line has significantly reduced travel time and eased congestion on Bengaluru’s notoriously crowded roads.
Metro authorities reported that the surge in ridership was not only due to curiosity about the new line but also because of the convenience it offers for daily travel. Many office-goers, students, and workers in industrial areas switched to the metro on Day 1 to experience the new route.
Boost to City’s Connectivity
With the Yellow Line operational, Namma Metro now covers over 70 kilometers of the city, offering faster and greener transport options. The line intersects with the Green Line at RV Road, making it easier for passengers to switch lines without long detours.
Urban transport experts believe that this expansion will reduce dependency on personal vehicles, cut down fuel consumption, and help in lowering pollution levels in the city.
Passenger Reactions
Social media was buzzing with commuters sharing their first-day experience. From praising the smooth ride and cleanliness to appreciating the reduced travel time, the feedback has been overwhelmingly positive.
