Overview

• Operating three CBTC-equipped trainsets at 25-minute intervals, the Yellow Line helped push Bengaluru Metro to a record 1.048 million daily boardings with over 52,000 trips on its first day
• BMTC deployed four dedicated feeder-bus routes using 12 buses and 96 daily trips to link six Yellow Line stations across the Electronics City corridor
• Infosys has urged staff to switch to the new line and opened a direct skywalk from its Konappana Agrahara station, backing ELCITA shuttle buses to sync with train arrivals
• One coach of the fourth Yellow Line trainset reached the Hebbagodi depot on August 12 with five more en route, all slated for a multi-week testing and integration process
• Commuters still face poor pedestrian access at several stations, citing long detours to foot overbridges, blocked sidewalks and incomplete last-mile infrastructure
