Bengaluru’s Namma Metro, operational for 12 years, symbolizes the city’s transportation growth. Witnessing a surge in daily ridership from 25,401 to 6,01,432 passengers, its expanded routes reduce traffic congestion. The completion of the 43.49 km Purple Line and ongoing Phase 2 extensions mark milestones, aiming to cover 176 km by 2026. The project’s success depends on collaborations with various international funding agencies and governments. The journey continues, with plans for a comprehensive Phase 3, extending connectivity and easing commuter transit across the expanding city. Namma Metro remains pivotal in Bengaluru’s evolving transportation landscape.
