Bengaluru Metro commuters slam long waiting time on Yellow Line
Nearly nine months after the Yellow Line became operational, passengers continue to complain about inadequate train frequency and extended waiting intervals, sparking criticism against Bangalore Metro Rail Corporation Limited.
Namma Metro’s Yellow Line was inaugurated by Narendra Modi on August 10, 2025, with commercial services beginning from August 11. While the project was seen as a major step towards reducing Bengaluru’s traffic woes, passengers claim that the low frequency of trains has failed to meet commuter needs.
Metro services on the Green and Purple Lines currently operate at intervals of three to four minutes during busy hours and five minutes during regular hours. However, Yellow Line commuters say trains are far less frequent, arriving only once every nine minutes in peak hours and every 14 minutes at other times.
