Bengaluru Metro News: In exciting news for Namma Metro commuters, the Yellow Line services will begin 30 minutes earlier from today onwards. The 19.15-km Yellow Line is a crucial link for Bengaluru’s IT employees and others, as it connects RV Road with Bommasandra via the tech hub of Electronics City. With the revised timings, commuters can start leaving for their offices as early as 6 am. This comes after the Bengaluru Metro Rail Corporation Limited (BMRCL) added the fourth set of trains, which will facilitate maximum commuters on the route. It will increase the interval of trains arriving and reduce the travel time. According to the new timings, the services will start at 6 am, whereas they previously began at 6:30 am. With more trains added to the fleet, they will now run at 19-minute intervals. Earlier, there was a gap of at least 25 minutes, which has now been reduced by 6 minutes.
