The aim of this study is to analyse the Social and Economic benefits of the Bengaluru metro rail transportation in Karnataka. The Bengaluru Metro Rail Transportation system has emerged as a transformative and integral component of Karnataka's Social and Economic landscape. The metro has significantly improved urban transportation, reducing travel time and stress for commuters. By mitigating traffic congestion, it has indirectly enhanced productivity and air quality. Economically, the metro has facilitated connectivity, leading to the emergence of new business hubs and residential areas along its corridors. This has attracted investments, generated job opportunities, and stimulated local economies. The metro's influence extends to urban development, with transit-oriented areas around stations promoting organized growth and efficient land use. Property values around metro stations have appreciated, generating economic gains and potentially bolstering property tax revenues. The system's inclusive design has also improved accessibility for people with disabilities and lower-income individuals, fostering social inclusivity. However, challenges such as construction disruptions and fare structures must be considered. In the long term, the metro system's potential for reducing road maintenance costs, promoting a cultural shift towards sustainable transportation, boosting tourism, and serving as a model for other cities becomes evident.
