This year, apart from the opening of a small stretch of the Green Line for public use, there was not much development in Bengaluru’s Namma Metro. Dogged by frequent delays in its projects, the much-anticipated opening of the Yellow Line was also postponed owing to delays in the delivery of rolling stock.
