Metro finally comes to Whitefield, take a ride on March 26 from 7 am!
The metro has finally reached Whitefield, a remote village transformed into a tech hub. At 69.66 km, Bengaluru now has the second largest metro network in India, second only to Delhi.
On Saturday, Prime Minister Narendra Modi inaugurated the 13.71-km metro line between Whitefield (Kadugodi) and KR Pura in eastern Bengaluru. Citizens will be able to ride the Whitefield metro on Sunday, from 7 am to 11 pm. Trains will run from 5 am to 11 pm on weekdays, starting on Monday.
Bangalore Metro Rail Corporation Limited (BMRCL) hopes 1.5 lakh people will travel by the Whitefield metro every day. The number will rise up to 3 lakhs or more when the 2.1-km line from KR Pura to Baiyappanahalli opens in June.
