The station, funded by the Infosys Foundation, is part of the Yellow Line launched on August 10. Spanning 19.1 km from RV Road to Bommasandra with 16 elevated stations, the line aims to ease congestion in southern Bengaluru and boasts modern facilities such as platform screen doors and advanced accessibility features.

Despite its cutting-edge design, the parking fines have cast a shadow over the commuter experience. A city resident wrote online: “What’s the point of opening a huge metro station when you are penalizing the public for two-wheeler parking without any notice? So many people are turning back just because of this stupid notice.”
