Bengaluru: Metro trains on the Yellow Line were delayed for several hours on Sunday due to a technical glitch.
The delay lasted from 10.15 am and 1.58 pm.
Although Bangalore Metro Rail Corporation Limited (BMRCL) claimed that trains operated every 25 minutes during this time, passengers had a different story.
Ranjith Shetty, a commuter, said frequency at the Hongasandra metro station was 33 minutes, "totally contradicting" the BMRCL's claims.
The BMRCL operates four trains on the 19.15-km RV Road-Bommasandra line at a 19-minute interval during peak hours. It plans to induct a fifth train, currently undergoing trial runs, in about a week's time. Frequency will then improve to 15 minutes.
