Bengaluru Metro Seeks 45 Acres for New Transport Hub at Hebbal

23 Jul 2024 CW Team

The Bangalore Metro Rail Corporation Ltd. (BMRCL) has requested 45 acres of land from the Karnataka Industrial Areas Development Board (KIADB) at Hebbal to develop a new transport hub. This strategic acquisition aims to enhance connectivity and streamline transportation in Bengaluru.

The proposed transport hub will serve as a major interchange point, linking various modes of transport and improving the overall efficiency of the city's transit network. The facility is expected to accommodate metro stations, bus terminals, and other essential infrastructure to facilitate smoother commutes for passengers.

Hebbal, a key area in Bengaluru's northern region, has been identified as an ideal location for this transport hub due to its central position and connectivity potential. The new hub is anticipated to alleviate congestion in other parts of the city and provide a more organised system for managing both local and inter-city travel.

The BMRCL's request to the KIADB underscores the importance of expanding and modernising Bengaluru's transport infrastructure to meet the demands of its growing population. Once completed, the transport hub will contribute significantly to reducing travel times and enhancing the city's overall mobility.

Officials from BMRCL are optimistic about the project's impact and are working closely with the KIADB to finalise the land acquisition process. The development of the transport hub is seen as a critical step in improving urban transportation and supporting Bengaluru's continued growth and development.
