BENGALURU: From a network of 6.7-km on October 20, 2011, to 56.09-km at present, South India’s first Metro service has traversed quite a distance from its once derided ‘Toy Train’ status. Despite project delays, cost overruns, pandemic induced stoppage of work and complete closure of operations resulting in the present steep fall in ridership, Namma Metro has over the decade, cemented its place as a crucial mode of public transport for the City.
