Partial opening of Namma Metro Pink Line causes commuter frustration
Only a 7.5-km elevated section of the Pink Line has been opened, leaving passengers to rely on buses for further travel.
Commuters in Bengaluru are expressing dissatisfaction following the partial opening of the Namma Metro Pink Line, according to The Hindu.
The current opening consists only of a 7.5-km elevated section, which has left some passengers unable to reach their final destinations without additional transport.
Shankar Prasad, an office-goer from Hulimavu in south Bengaluru, said he has been waiting for years for the line to open so he could reach his office on M.G. Road directly.
Prasad stated that there is no point in taking the metro if he still has to depend on a bus to reach his destination.
For those travelling to the Central Business District (CBD), the partial opening means another long wait for the full line to become operational.
