Bengaluru: Namma Metro has proposed a feasibility study to add 129 km to its network under what could be known as Phase 4.
The new lines will connect far-flung and suburban areas at a time when many parts of the city’s core lack adequate metro connectivity. This is against the government-approved Comprehensive Mobility Plan (CMP).
Bangalore Metro Rail Corporation Limited’s (BMRCL) proposal comprises one new line and the extension of the existing Purple and Green lines in four directions to Bidadi (Mysuru Road), Harohalli (Kanakapura Road), Attibele (Hosur Road) and Kunigal Cross (Tumakuru Road, near Nelamangala).
The new line will be like a semicircle, connecting parts of Jigani, Anekal, Attibele, Sarjapur and Varthur, mainly in the city’s east and south.
