Spanning 19.15 kilometers, the Yellow Line will connect RV Road to Bommasandra with 16 stations along an elevated track. Designed to ensure passenger safety, the metro coaches will be equipped with 24 CCTV cameras, including two on the front to capture the journey. The line promises to provide a fast, efficient, and eco-friendly alternative for daily commuters, marking a significant leap in Bengaluru’s metro infrastructure.

A standout feature of the Yellow Line is the Jayadeva Hospital metro station, which will be India’s tallest metro station at 39 meters. Scheduled to open alongside the Yellow Line in January 2025, this six-level marvel will serve as a crucial interchange for the Yellow and Pink Lines.

Designed to streamline connectivity in southern Bengaluru, the station will feature a flyover and underpass to manage road traffic. Serving key areas like BTM Layout and Silk Board Junction, it will significantly ease travel while becoming a landmark in the city’s skyline.
