A fresh burst of purple bridges the gap, welds the 44-km stretch in Bengaluru
There will be a purple lining to the dark clouds of memes, jokes, discussions and debates about Bengaluru’s traffic congestions as Namma Metro has finally bridged the gap now. The 44-km stretch between Whitefield in the east and Challaghatta in the far west will have Bengalureans commute in 82 minutes, and for just Rs 60.
As Namma Metro begins operations of two sections from Monday, it estimates the average daily ridership to rise by at least one lakh. The current average daily ridership, which stands at 6.5 lakh, will rise to 7.5 lakh, according to Bangalore Metro Rail Corporation Limited (BMRCL).
