A small stretch of the #PinkLine is set to become operational (for public) from 14th November, while the wait continues for the Underground section to be completed.
Next up: when will the #BlueLine join the club and complete the Olympics metro picture? #Bangalore

The Olympics are held every four years.
Namma Metro, however, takes twice that time to bring a new line into operation.
With the #YellowLine finally opening after eight years of construction, we’ve entered what could be called the “Namma Metro Olympic cycle”
•Pink and Blue ders in key positions—both in the government and at BMRCL—must start showing genuine seriousness, especially after witnessing the prolonged delays across all metro lines. Without consistent monitoring, nothing will improve, and the public will continue to bear the brunt. @TheMetroRailGuy

With the #PinkLine opening to commuters on Nov 14th, Namma Metro crosses 100 km. Fifteen years after launching in 2011, we should honestly be at double that distance by now.
Still, a milestone is a milestone. Time to celebrate and welcome the new line. @TheMetroRailGuy

Opening a new line is good news and it’s great to see a few km added to our metro network 🎉🥳.
But 9 years for a 7.5 km stretch? That’s 0.83 km a year - SHAME and shows the level of inefficiency. No one will take the blame, but everyone will rush to take the credit

My very first post about the #PinkLine was back in May 2020 during the COVID lockdown.
Now, almost 9 years after Simplex first started ground work, we’re finally seeing the 7.5 km elevated stretch go operational in 2 days!
Total length of Pink Line is 21.38 km. #Bangalore

#NammaMetro Pink Line 4 - Gottigere to Nagawara (21.38KM). Start point at Kalena Agrahara was a bit of surprise (see pics). And there were many surprises till Dairy Circle. #Simplex —> quite COMPLEX @TheMetroRailGuy @NaveenMIRROR @ChristinMP_TOI @bengalurutrains @KARailway

Hope you are doing well!
pity @WF_Watcher isn't active on twitter anymore. they were at the forefront of pestering officials to open the Krishnarajapura <> Baiyappanahalli stretch after the CMRS "yes" came in September 2023.
I would know, i was right next in line. wake up > yell at people on twt to open that stretch > sleep :P

Shame: Another vital infra project neglected!
MVR Infra was awarded the #Whitefield Metro Extension contract in March 2024 with an 18-month deadline. It’s now been 28 months, not an inch moved ahead.
This 588-metre extension to Belathur Colony will add a reversal crossover, rain operations and frequency. It’s disappointing that such a small but critical project has been left stalled for years. Commuters would already be benefiting from better service had it been completed on time.

NEGLIGENCE- COMPLACENCY
MVR Infra was awarded the #Whitefield Metro Extension contract in March 2024 with a completion deadline of 18 months.
It’s been 19 months, and not even a centimetre of work has started. Hard to imagine when this will actually be completed.
This Belathur Colony is meant to enhance train operations through a reversal crossover-track facility. Neither the Government nor BMRCL seems interested in monitoring its progress. @TheMetroRailGuy #PurpleLine #Bangalore
