Terminal station at Smart City to have entry/exit only on the right hand side; foot overbridge mulled for members of the public to access the station
Bangalore Metro Rail Corporation Limited recently conducted a trial run of the Blue Line train at the Byappanahalli depot, as part of preparations for the much-anticipated expansion. The trial focused on testing the electrical systems, examining the readiness of the rolling stock, and identifying any potential track infringements. BMRCL officials revealed that the testing will resume next week, pending the availability of workers after the Deepavali holiday.
The Blue Line, which comprises Metro Phases 2A and 2B, is a significant infrastructure project that will connect Bengaluru with Kempegowda International Airport. The K.R. Puram-to-airport stretch measures 38.44 kilometers, while the K.R. Puram-to-Central Silk Board section spans 19.75 kilometers. The driverless trainset for the Blue Line was manufactured by Bharat Earth Movers Limited (BEML).
As the city eagerly anticipates the launch of the Blue Line, BMRCL continues to ensure that all necessary preparations are in place, including thorough testing of the train system and infrastructure.
