Government of Karnataka planned for Bangalore Metro 11 years back, way back in 2003 and the actual work started only in late 2007.

Metro to ITPL

srinidhi - 8-AUG-2014

Sanjeev brought out a very valid point on how access to ITPL/whitefield is going to get affected in the next coming years because of the metro construction there.

Incremental Metro Extension in Phase 2

Vasanth - 22-APR-2014

Metro Phase 2 works are going to start very soon. But how long it would take? Phase 1 which started in 2007, saw the light in 2011 partially. For complete Phase 1 to complete, it would be end of 2015 or even 2016. Almost close to 9 years. Phase 2 in the phase 1 pace might take another 9 years. If the work starts now in June / July, it might complete somwhere in 2023.
