In a move to elevate the commuter experience in Bangalore, known as the Indian Silicon Valley, the Bangalore Metro Rail Corporation Limited (BMRCL) has taken a significant step by implementing QR codes on the Purple and Green lines. These QR codes are designed to provide a seamless and convenient way for passengers to access the metro route map directly from their mobile devices. By scanning the QR codes on the existing route maps inside the metro coaches, commuters can now access the complete Bengaluru metro map on their mobile phones. This innovative solution overcomes the limitation of current display maps, which only depict the routes of the specific lines the coaches are operating on.
Addressing the issue, a BMRCL official highlighted the necessity for a comprehensive map that encompasses the entire Bengaluru metro network. The QR code integration ensures that passengers have easy access to the complete map, enhancing their travel experience and enabling better navigation within the metro system.
How will the code function?
By scanning the QR code provided, commuters are directed to a browser link showcasing a comprehensive map. This map not only displays the routes of the Purple and Green lines but also highlights key metro stations, terminal stations, interchange points, and the locations of railway stations, BMTC, and KSRTC bus stands. The primary objective behind introducing QR codes is to provide passengers with a user-friendly navigation tool within the metro system, ensuring a hassle-free travel experience.
In short:
- Routes for both the Purple and Green lines
- Names of all metro stations
- Terminal stations
- Interchange stations
- Locations of railway stations
- BMTC and KSRTC bus stands
BMRCL encourages passengers to utilize this technology for easy access to essential travel information during their metro journeys.
