Commuters in Bengaluru are demanding that the Bangalore Metro Rail Corporation Limited (BMRCL) start commercial operations on the KR Pura-Whitefield and Challaghatta-Kengeri sections without waiting for a formal inauguration. BMRCL recently received safety authorisation to operate these sections and is planning to open both stretches together in the second week of October. Opening the entire corridor will integrate the major IT corridor of Whitefield into the Metro network and help reduce traffic congestion in the city. Commuters are urging the government to prioritize the interests of the public and open the line without delay.https://ift.tt/hTDkyCB
