BMRCL to induct two more trains on Yellow Line from June 3, improve frequency
Nearly 10 months after the Yellow Line was opened to the public in August 2025, and amid the gradual induction of rolling stock, the Bangalore Metro Rail Corporation Limited (BMRCL) will induct two additional trainsets from Wednesday.The move will increase the total number of trains operating on the corridor to 10. The Yellow Line connects R.V. Road and Bommasandra and has witnessed growing ridership since its launch. However, the pace of train induction has remained slow, resulting in overcrowded trains and inconvenience to commuters on the corridor.In a release on Tuesday, the BMRCL stated that the induction of the additional trainsets would enable more frequent services, particularly during peak hours when passenger demand is high.Revised scheduleWith the revised schedule, trains on the Yellow Line will run at seven-minute intervals during peak hours on weekdays, an improvement from the current nine-minute frequency. During non-peak hours from Monday to Friday, trains will operate every 10 minutes instead of the existing 14-minute interval.For weekend commuters, the BMRCL has announced that trains would run at a uniform frequency of 10 minutes throughout Saturdays and Sundays.
