The Bengaluru Metro Green Line extension, a significant step in the city's public transport network, was opened for commercial operation on November 7. This extension enhances connectivity between key areas, particularly easing travel for thousands of commuters daily. It connects the northern and southern parts of Bengaluru, offering a faster, more efficient alternative to road transport.

The extension spans a critical section of the city, facilitating smoother commutes across busy urban zones.

The metro system plays a pivotal role in Bengaluru’s infrastructure development. The Green Line extension aims to provide easy access to key locations, including business hubs and residential areas, making commuting more convenient for citizens.
