Bengaluru Metro Yellow Line Back to Normal After 3 Hours Due to Technical Glitch

Metro train services on Bengaluru's Yellow Line were disrupted for almost three hours on Sunday morning due to a technical glitch in one of the trains, according to the Bangalore Metro Rail Corporation Limited (BMRCL). The disruption lasted between 10:15 am and 1:58 pm.

BMRCL officials said the issue led to reduced train frequency, with services operating every 25 minutes.

"Dear passengers, due to a technical glitch in a train, trains are running with a delay on the Yellow Line from 10:15 hrs with a headway of 25 min. Travelling public are requested to note and co-operate please," the BMRCL posted on X.

Normal operations were restored at 1:58 pm, nearly three hours after the fault was reported.

"Dear all, normalcy on the Yellow Line is restored from 13.58 hrs and trains are running as per schedule. The public may kindly note and utilize the metro service," BMRCL said in a follow-up update.

The 19-kilometre Yellow Line, which connects RV Road to Bommasandra, was inaugurated by Prime Minister Narendra Modi on August 10, 2024, and opened for public service the next day. It links southern Bengaluru, including Electronics City, to the city's expanding metro network.

The Yellow Line features Communication-Based Train Control (CBTC) technology, enabling driverless train operations, a first for Namma Metro.
