The inauguration of the underground stretch of East-West corridor of the Bengaluru Metro has been further delayed because of the in-completion of the North-South corridor.

Yes buddy...The stretch includes five stations: Cubbon Park, Vidhana Soudha, Sir M Visvesvaraya Station (near Central College), Kempegowda Intersection in Majestic, and the City Railway station. BMRCL claims that it will take 35 minutes to reach from one end to the other and it is likely to cost Rs 40 to travel between the two stations.

Earlier the deadline for metro phase I was end of December 2013 but due to delay in in land acquisition, handing over of land by the Indian Railways, underground works, and shifting of utility lines. The deadline has been shifted to March 2015 and then to December 2015. Hope they meet the deadline. Finger crossed

The first phase of this metro project consists of two lines, totalling 42.3 km and 40 stations, and was partially authorized in October 2011. The lines will criss-cross the city from north to south and east to west. By the end of 2014, the existing system will accommodate 1.2 millions passengers per day and 1.9 million per day by 2021. In addition to that, the project will contribute to reduce the pollution and green house gas emissions equivalent to about 7 million tonnes of CO2 within 30 years.
