@ChristinMP_ @DarshanDevaiahB @HardeepSPuri @Lolita_TNIE @shashibk @Tejasvi_Surya @WF_Watcher @SurabhiHodigere Not even at Benniganahalli and the train is so full. Easily avoidable chaos.

Frequency of the metro at Pattandur agrahara station currently is 8 mins!
5.30 pm isnt peak hours for @OfficialBMRCL ? 100s of people waiting to board and then eventually it gets super crowded and it is almost full By the time it reaches BYPL

Why is the frequency so low?!?!
Was it not supposed to be 5/6 mins?

[Shashi Bangalore @shashibk]

This is the scene at Pattandur Agrahara (ITPL) at 5.34 PM. Long queues, inadequate security, low frequency 10 min as against 5 minutes? @cpronammametro @DKShivakumar @WFRising @whitefieldmetro @ChristinMP_ @naveenm01 @Tejasvi_Surya @PCMohanMP @MTF_Mobility

#PurpleLine to Whitefield - a beautiful British-time suburb is unique in terms of mobility: tons of people go to Whitefield for work & residents go to work elsewhere. They generate most taxes for our city, but infra is 🙁

But, tomorrow, is a new beginning

I had requested on the 5th of October, 2023 to the Government of India for the opening of two sections between KR Puram to Baiyappanahalli and from Kengeri to Challaghatta.

The GoI has responded to inform that the above two sections will be formally dedicated to the nation by the Hon'ble Prime Minister and the Hon'ble Chief Minister of Karnataka within two weeks of time.

In order to provide immediate convenience to the commuters in these two vital missing links of the East-West corridor of BMRCL, we have decided to make the above two sections operational from the 9th of October, 2023.

13 days since all the safety clearances have been given and we are still waiting for an official word on the inauguration!?!
What kind of a torture this is for a common man. When on earth is the purple line getting operational?

[Friends of Whitefield Metro @whitefieldmetro]

This is what the queue to get into Baiyappanahalli metro looks like.
Do the govts have any sense of accountability left?
This is so sad and shameful.
