New Gate Opens at Majestic Station for Easier Transition Between Green and Purple Lines

Bengaluru:* Commuters traveling on Namma Metro’s Green Line and needing to switch to the Purple Line at Nadaprabhu Kempegowda Station (Majestic) now have a reason to cheer. A new entry gate has been inaugurated to facilitate a smoother transition between these two busy routes.

Relief for Commuters

The number of daily passengers on Namma Metro has been steadily increasing, with predictions suggesting it may soon cross the 1 million mark. The Purple Line, in particular, has seen a significant rise in ridership, with many passengers requiring a change from the Green Line to the Purple Line at Majestic. Previously, the limited access points for switching between these lines led to congestion, especially during peak hours from 8 AM to 10 AM and 5 PM to 8 PM. This overcrowding often caused delays and discomfort for commuters.

The opening of the new entry gate is expected to alleviate these issues, making the transition between lines much more efficient and less stressful, particularly during rush hours.
