Teething trouble: First-day woes for Whitefield-KR Pura metro line
The Whitefield (Kadugodi)-KR Pura metro line encountered initial problems on the first day of its commercial launch.
A group of people gathered outside the Baiyappanahalli metro station on Old Madras Road on Sunday afternoon, hoping to catch one of the feeder buses to the KR Pura metro station. However, it appeared that no one had knowledge of the bus schedule or how often they ran.
As a result, people boarded whichever bus that stopped in the lane, supervised by a BMTC official. They learnt later that the overcrowded bus would drop them at Tin Factory, a kilometre away from the metro station.
