This extraordinary green corridor ensured the organ reached on time for a critical transplant surgery, showcasing the efficiency of Bengaluru Metro in emergency medical logistics.

This isn’t the first such humanitarian mission by Namma Metro. Just a month earlier, on August 1, 2025, a liver was transported from Vaidehi Hospital to Rajarajeshwari Nagar via the Metro, accompanied by a team of doctors and paramedics. The organ, brought by ambulance to Whitefield Metro station at 8:38 PM, was placed on a special Metro train at 8:42 PM, reaching Rajarajeshwari Nagar by 9:48 PM, well within the golden hour, enabling a successful transplant.
