The Bengaluru Metro Phase 2 project, which includes the construction of new lines and stations, is moving forward with the aim of making urban travel more efficient and comfortable. Once completed, the expanded metro network will help ease traffic congestion, reduce pollution, and ensure better access to key areas of the city.

Bengaluru's metro system is quickly becoming one of the most modern urban transit networks in India, providing a benchmark for other cities planning similar expansions.
