Bengaluru’s Yellow Line Metro: Key features

The Yellow Line aims to benefit around eight lakh commuters, easing traffic congestion and improving connectivity in Bengaluru. With its operations, the traffic congestion will be reduced significantly. Though the project has faced multiple delays and missed several earlier deadlines, the line will open to the public with no further delay, with a timely launch. 

• The 19.15 km long Yellow Line has been built for Rs 5,056.99 crore. It will connect RV Road to Bommasandra, easing traffic congestion in key areas, including the notorious Silk Board junction and Hosur Road.
• The Yellow Line will serve Bengaluru’s technology corridor, providing direct access to major IT hubs, like Electronic City, which is home to major IT firms such as Infosys and Biocon. It will connect to Infosys Foundation Konappana Agraha station to the Infosys campus and Biocon Hebbagodi station. 
• The Yellow Line will reduce traffic at the Silk Board Junction, providing better connectivity for residential hubs like HSR Layout, Bommasandra Industrial Area and BTM Layout. 
• The Yellow Line will have direct interchange connections with the Green and Pink Lines. Initially, three trains will be operational on this route; further plans are in place to boost frequency and add more trains later. 
• With the Yellow Line, the travel time between South Bengaluru and Electronic City is likely to be reduced by up to 60% in comparison to travel by road during peak hours.
