The Bangalore Metro Rail Corporation Ltd (BMRCL) has taken steps to analyse the passenger demand on the two metro lines, which are expected to be taken up in the third phase.
The preparation of the detailed project report (DPR), which was briefly suspended owing to a lull in traffic movement due to the Covid-19 pandemic, has resumed with the city returning to normalcy.
Sources said the traffic analysis would be completed in about two months. “Almost all components of the DPR are ready, including the geotechnical and topographical surveys. We are currently studying the traffic demand,” a source said. The traffic analysis is needed to assess the financial and economic feasibility of the project.
