Namma Metro commuters have been complaining about the train slowing down on certain stretches, which has increased travel time. The Bangalore Metro Rail Corporation Limited (BMRCL) has asked metro drivers to slow down when approaching a curve in the metro line stretch to be on the safe side.
BMRCL officials said the reduced speed of trains on the Purple Line stretch is intentional and necessary for safety reasons. According to BMRCL authorities, the presence of a curve along this particular stretch necessitates cautionary measures to ensure passenger safety and operational efficiency.
A senior BMRCL official explained, “The slower speed of trains on the Purple Line between Indiranagar and Trinity stations is due to the curvature of the track in that area. As a safety precaution, we have instructed metro pilots to operate at reduced speeds in sections with sharp curves to minimize the risk of accidents and ensure the safety of passengers.”
