Bengaluru is set to expand its metro network, with the total length of the metro train service expected to reach 175 kilometers by 2026. According to Karnataka Deputy Chief Minister D.K. Shivakumar, the ongoing metro expansion project will provide significant relief to the city's traffic congestion and improve public transportation.
The extension of the metro line is part of the city’s efforts to enhance its infrastructure and reduce reliance on road transport. This ambitious project will improve connectivity across various parts of the city, facilitating smoother commutes for millions of daily travelers. The expansion will also contribute to environmental sustainability by promoting eco-friendly modes of transport.
The Bengaluru Metro Phase 2 project, which includes the construction of new lines and stations, is moving forward with the aim of making urban travel more efficient and comfortable. Once completed, the expanded metro network will help ease traffic congestion, reduce pollution, and ensure better access to key areas of the city.
Bengaluru's metro system is quickly becoming one of the most modern urban transit networks in India, providing a benchmark for other cities planning similar expansions.
