Namma Metro Commuters Face Parking, Ticket Purchase Delays
Namma Metro riders in Bengaluru are having trouble getting around.
Some stations don't have enough parking, causing frustration for commuters and neighbors.
On the Purple Line, long lines for tickets are common due to not enough staff.
This is making students late for school.
Commuters are calling for improvements from the metro company, BMRCL, to make it a reliable way to travel, and the officials have stated that parking issues will be resolved soon.
They are also aware of the situation and are trying to fix it.
Commuters on the Yellow Line face parking shortages at several stations.

Students are missing classes due to metro delays.
18 out of 83 stations citywide lack parking facilities.
