Bengaluru’s Hosur Road sees 10% dip in traffic after Yellow Line begins operations: Report

Traffic congestion on Bengaluru’s Hosur Road has eased significantly since the launch of the Bengaluru Metro’s Yellow Line. Data showed a 10% drop in congestion levels along the busy corridor within days of operations beginning on August 10.

The 19-km Yellow Line, inaugurated by Prime Minister Narendra Modi, connects RV Road with Bommasandra. The line, which extends the Namma Metro network to 96 km, is seen as a critical lifeline linking southern residential zones to Electronic City’s IT and manufacturing hubs. Importantly, it also provides relief at the Silk Board Junction—one of Bengaluru’s most gridlocked traffic points.
