Namma Metro may have fully operationalised its 43.45-km Purple Line, but some pain points remain at a few stations.
The lack of a foot overbridge at the KR Pura metro station is one of them. Passengers have to cross the ever-busy Old Madras Road to access the metro station. Presently, traffic police stop vehicular movement to facilitate pedestrian crossing.
Bangalore Metro Rail Corporation Limited (BMRCL) is building a skywalk to connect the concourse of the KR Pura metro station with the other side of the road. A foundation has been dug up for the landing of the skywalk near the parking lot of the KR Puram railway station. Soon, the skywalk will be extended to the concourse of the metro station.
