Overview

  • One coach of a fourth trainset reached the Hebbagodi depot on August 12 and the remaining five are due by August 14, with a 20-day testing schedule before entering service
  • BMTC launched four metro feeder routes servicing six Yellow Line stations using 12 buses on 96 daily trips and introduced QR-code information systems for live schedules
  • Infosys circulated an internal note directing Electronics City staff to use the new Konappana Agrahara station via a direct skywalk and synchronized shuttle buses
  • Operations remain limited to three trainsets running at roughly 25-minute intervals, resulting in platform overcrowding at key interchange stations
  • Commuters reported poor pedestrian access at multiple Yellow Line stations, citing long detours, blocked footpaths and unsafe crossings
