Bengaluru Pink Line set to open: What commuters say about phase 1
The Phase 1, likely to open by October, may offer faster trips for some commuters on Bannerghatta Road, but those travelling towards north Bengaluru will still need road transport
Bengaluru’s crucial Pink Line is expected to begin operations in phases, with the 7.5-km elevated stretch between Kalena Agrahara and Tavarekere likely to open later this month or next.
Commuters say the opening is likely to ease congestion on the busy Bannerghatta Road. The 21.26-km line from Kalena Agrahara in south Bengaluru to Nagawara in north will connect several key parts of the city, including areas around the Indian Institute of Management Bangalore (IIMB), Jayadeva Hospital and many educational institutions and IT parks.
