About Bangalore Metro Map

Bangalore (officially called Bengaluru) is known as the IT capital of India. With the growth of IT-related businesses in the city, the need for infrastructure development also picked the pace. Hence, the construction of metro system in the city was proposed and subsequently, its implementation process took off.

To learn about the route, passengers can browse through the map of Bangalore metro rail. The map is quite detailed and shows the routes in a lucid manner.

Need for Metro in Bangalore

Main objective behind introduction of metro rail in Bangalore was to ease the traffic pressure off the roads. The making of metro line was also encouraged, so that travellers start using public transport more and more, instead of using private vehicles. Metro system in the city is considered to be a complementary transit mode rather than a competitive one.

In addition to that, metro system in Bangalore was also needed for following reasons:
    To reduce consumption of fuel To check pollution To bring down accident rates To help travellers save their time
