Thousands of people thronged to the MG Road Metro station to take a joy ride after the service was inaugurated. The Bangalore Metro Rail Corporation Ltd earned a whopping Rs. 14.7 lakhs revenue on the first day itself.
The ‘Namma Metro” is built at a cost of Rs. 6000 crore, more than 20,000 people are expected to use the services each day.
The BMRCL will run the train initially on a 7-km stretch from MG road to Byyappanahalli whole day.
Bangalore residents had a sigh of relief hope as they expect the metro rail to ease the traffic congestion in the city.
