Bengaluru's Metro Commuters Get Early Christmas Gift
In welcome news for daily commuters, Bengaluru's Namma Metro is set to significantly enhance service on the Yellow Line starting December 2025. The current waiting time between trains will be reduced as frequency improves to just 12 minutes, providing much-needed relief to thousands of passengers who rely on this vital transport corridor.
New Train Set to Transform Commute Experience
The improvement in service frequency becomes possible with the addition of a sixth train to the Yellow Line fleet. The six-coach train is currently undertaking an impressive 2,000-kilometer road journey from its manufacturing location to Bengaluru. This substantial transportation effort highlights the scale of metro infrastructure development in the city.
According to the latest updates, the new train is expected to complete its long journey in approximately 10 days. By the last week of November 2025, the additional train will arrive at the Hebbagodi depot, where it will undergo necessary testing and commissioning before entering passenger service.
Timeline for Service Enhancement
The strategic timing of this upgrade means Bengaluru residents will benefit from improved metro services during the busy December month. The enhanced 12-minute frequency represents a significant improvement over current intervals, potentially reducing crowding and wait times during peak hours.
The Yellow Line connects crucial areas of Bengaluru, serving as a backbone for the city's public transportation network. This frequency improvement aligns with Bangalore Metro Rail Corporation Limited's ongoing efforts to enhance capacity and reliability across the metro system.
Commuters can look forward to smoother journeys and reduced travel time as the new train joins operational service, marking another step forward in Bengaluru's evolving urban mobility landscape.
