5th Train Arrives for Bengaluru Yellow Line Metro, Set to Run Mid-October 2025

The 5th train for the Yellow Line Metro in Bengaluru has arrived. It is scheduled to launch on September 30, 2025, and will begin running in mid-October after testing.

Why It Matters

• The Yellow Line runs from R.V. Road to Bommasandra.
• It connects places like Electronics City.
• At first, there were only 3 trains, so people waited 25 minutes.
• A 4th train came in September and reduced the waiting time to 19 minutes.
• The 5th train will reduce the wait to about 15 minutes.

What’s Special About the Trains

• These trains use new technology for driverless running.
• But for now, drivers are still operating them.

Why Trains Are Late

• Trains were delayed due to problems with the company that was making them.
• Now, another company is sending the trains slowly.

What’s Next

• The new train will run from mid-October.
• It will help reduce crowding.
• More trains are still needed.
