Both lines were delayed due to rolling stock shortage: BMRCL sources
Bengaluru Metro's average daily ridership has surpassed 7 lakh, but the shortage of trains remains a cause for concern.
The BBMP’s forest department issued a public notice stating that BMRCL has submitted an application for the removal of trees in the path of the architectural and finishing works and public health engineering works near Ragigudda metro station for Reach 5 in collaboration with DULT.
The docking point at Baiyappanhalli metro station has already been installed and is awaiting a shelter to be constructed above. “This is super work by the BMRCL and DULT. Looking forward to the other nine also. Please inform the cycling community once it is done so we can popularise it. Brand Bengaluru is a cycling-friendly Bengaluru,” said Bicycle Mayor Sathya Sankaran on Twitter (now X).
Bengaluru Metro: “With the available fleet of Metro trains, we cannot increase the frequency of services. Once we induct new trains, we will be able to operate trains at a frequency of 3 minutes on both the lines,” Parvez added.
