The Hindu
As per the new plan, stations between Kodigehalli and Doddajala will have island platforms for passengers
The Bangalore Metro Rail Corporation Limited (BMRCL) has altered the original designs of five metro stations that will come up on Ballari Road as part of the Outer Ring Road-Airport line. BMRCL is planning to build elevated metro stations with island platforms, which will provide commuters easy access to both the lines. If all goes as planned, this will be the first time that island platforms will be built on elevated metro stations in the city. Such platforms are now there at underground stations like Cubbon Park and Sir M. Visvesvaraya. The island makes it possible for metro passengers to access both lines, one towards Baiyappanahalli and the other towards Mysuru Road station. BMRCL plans to build metro stations with island platforms at Kodigehalli, Jakkur Cross, Yelahanka, Bagalur Cross, Bettahalasuru and Doddajala on the ORR-Airport line, and is acquiring additional land to build them.
