Final Trainset Arrives for Bengaluru Metro Yellow Line to Enhance Service Frequency
The final six-coach trainset for Bengaluru metro's Yellow Line, manufactured by Titagarh Rail Systems Ltd., arrived at the Hebbagodi depot after nearly a year since the line's inauguration. The train will undergo inspections and mandatory 750-km dynamic testing before entering service. Currently, 10 trains operate with peak frequencies of seven minutes, but with all 15 trainsets commissioned, peak waiting times are expected to reduce to four to five minutes. BMRCL aims to have the full fleet operational by August's end, with two trains reserved for emergencies.
