My TripAdvisor Review No.428: Bangalore Metro Rail Corporation.

Way To Go, Namma Metro.


On one of our recent trips to Bangalore we decided to take a joy ride on Bangalore’s Metro, fondly named ‘Namma Metro’ by the locals. We boarded at Sampige Road (Mantri Mall) and rode the Green Line till Peenya. We took the same train back to Mantri Mall, did some shopping and had lunch at one of the restaurants. Then we rode the Purple Line from MG Road to Baiyappannahalli and back. We enjoyed both the rides, getting to see a bird’s eye view of most of Central Bangalore in a couple of hours.

For the local commuters of Bangalore the Metro is a blessing, as it serves as a Rapid Transport System, avoiding the massive traffic jams and bottle necked roads which the city has become notorious for. It serves the main areas of Bangalore, but one still has to make use of the buses and autos to connect to the outlying areas.

Work on expansion and new routes are still underway, and hopefully should be operative in the near future.
