Yellow Line appreciation post
Exactly a year ago, the yellow line was opened to the public with an impractical train frequency of 25 mins!
Today, all the trains are delivered as promised by TRSL as promised. The trains run at 6 mins frequency and carry almost a lakh passengers each day.
If it weren't for the grit and determination of all the people who pushed for the opening of the metro line despite the limited availability of trainsets, we wouldn't be here today.
We are already hearing news of the line being extended to Attibele, to meet the Tamil Nadu border and possibly have an interchange with a line from Tamil Nadu.
This is the kind of progress transit needs to make in Bengaluru.
I hope the Pink Line opens soon.
Luckily, it won't have the same problems as the Yellow line since 8 trainsets are already delivered by BEML.
