Wanderlust Tales : Namma Metro Ride, Bangalore
Namma Metro finally started at JP Nagar and I took my first 'Namma Metro' ride and I was totally beaming with pride.
There are two tracks - purple and green. The one at JP Nagar runs on the green track if you happen to see the map and the first station is at Yelachenahalli.
The station is made in at par standards and looks classy, neat and well-kept. As soon you enter the station, there is a security check for each individual - head up to the 1st floor, where you ought to purchase the tickets.
It is interesting how the plastic chips are your tickets which you need to scan for entering the nearest gate where the train arrives and drop it at your destination station at the RVCT installed( Remaining Value Checking Terminal).
They have the customer care booth just before the RVCTs installed to have your queries answered. Even the folks at the ticket counter are really helpful with the information of the nearest metro stations to the needed destination.
As you near the waiting station - there are guards warning you of not standing too close to the tracks. The trains run at a frequency of every 10 minutes.
I must warn you - the trains get really full and finding a place to sit is almost impossible. And I am not surprised the majority of the Banglore folks are now opting for the metro ride, since it saves so much time. The distance which would cost them about 2 hours given the Bengaluru traffic is covered in 20-30 minutes. Exemplary!!
