About
Tracking the daily pulse of Bangalore’s metro system provides a detailed view of urban mobility and transit behaviour. Because the Bangalore Metro Rail Corporation Limited (BMRCL) only releases ridership figures every 24 hours without maintaining a public archive, this collection fills a vital gap by preserving historical daily records. It documents how passengers navigate the city using various ticket types, offering a longitudinal perspective on public transport demand and access patterns in one of India's fastest-growing metropolitan areas.
