context_page_description: Transport in Bangalore consists of several intra-city commute modes such as BMTC buses, Namma Metro, taxis and auto rickshaws, as well as the inter-city forms of transport: KSRTC and private buses, trains, and flights.
context_section_description: Bangalore's Namma Metro rapid transit system began construction in 2008 and operation in 2011, after missing several deadlines. As of 2019, it has 40 operational stations across two lines (Green Line and Purple Line), covering a distance of 42.3 km. Several stations are under construction as part of Phase 2 on these two lines, with Yellow, Red and Blue Lines also proposed. The Metro runs six-car and three-car trains which have total capacity of 2002 and 975 respectively. The average daily ridership was reported to be 4.5 lakh in 2019.
  Namma Metro has seen a steady growth in passenger footfall and popularity since 2017. However, the compartments are reported to be highly crowded during peak hours, despite addition of more trains during such time. There have been claims that Metro has caused road traffic congestion around its stations due to a lack of efficient last-mile connectivity.
