Bangalore Metro's QR code ticketing system has seen a significant increase in usage, surpassing 25 lakh users within a year of its launch in November 2022.

tickets directly on their mobile devices, resulting in faster boarding times and reduced physical contact. The introduction of QR group tickets for up to six passengers with a 5% discount further boosted its usage. While the 'One Nation, One Card' mobility card scheme has received a lukewarm response, BMRCL is promoting it in collaboration with Ratnakar Bank Limited (RBL). The growing popularity of QR codes is reflected in the increasing daily ridership on the Metro, currently at 8 lakh, with 52.27% using smart cards and 20.7% using QR codes. Passengers can obtain a QR code by sending a 'Hi' message to BMRCL's WhatsApp chatbot number: 810 555 66 77.

On Tuesday afternoon, a 30-year-old man named Siddarth from Bihar attempted to jump onto the tracks at the Jnanabharathi Metro Station in Bengaluru.

to be in severe financial distress and struggling with debt. While Metro services were briefly disrupted on the Purple Line, the situation was handled swiftly. This marks the third suicide attempt reported at Bengaluru Metro stations this year, prompting renewed discussions about installing Platform Screen Doors (PSDs) for safety. The BMRCL, however, cites challenges and costs associated with implementing PSDs across all stations. The BMRCL has announced increased security measures at all stations to prevent future attempts.

Mangalvaar ke dopahar mein, Bengaluru ke Jnanabharathi Metro Station pe, Bihar se aaye hue ek 30 saal ke aadmi, Siddarth ne, aati hui train pe track pe kudne ki koshish ki. Station controller aur security team ne tez action liya, Emergency Trip System (ETS) activate kiya aur train ko rok kar...

aadmi ko bachane mein kamyaab rahe. Aadmi bahut financial trouble mein tha aur karz ki wajah se pareshan tha. Is incident se Purple Line pe Metro services thoda time ke liye ruk gayi, par situation ko jaldi handle kar liya gaya. Yeh is saal Bengaluru ke Metro stations pe hota hua teesra suicide attempt hai, jisse sabhi 61 Metro stations pe Platform Screen Doors (PSDs) lagane ki baat phir se chal rahi hai. Par, BMRCL ka kehna hai ki sabhi stations pe PSDs lagna operational hours mein mushkil aur bahut expensive hoga. BMRCL ne sabhi stations pe security badhane ka bhi ailan kiya hai, taaki aage aise attempts na ho paye.
