The driverless coaches will undergo static tests within the depot, followed by tests on the metro tracks. The R.V.

This Yellow Line is anticipated to serve a significant number of commuters and alleviate traffic congestion on Hosur Road. Six coaches of the driverless train for the Yellow Line arrived in Bengaluru on February 14th after being shipped from Shanghai, China.

The remaining coaches are slated for production by Titagarh Rail Systems in India, with the entire delivery expected by March 2025.
