Until now, the Yellow Line has been operating with only five trains, resulting in a frequency of one train every 15 minutes. The addition of the sixth unit will enable BMRCL to shorten the gap between two trains to 12 minutes, a welcome change for passengers who depend on the corridor for daily travel.

Officials say the upgraded timings are likely to take effect from December 22, following final checks and operational approvals. The change is expected to significantly reduce passenger waiting time and improve overall service efficiency on the line.
