Bhopal, the capital city of Madhya Pradesh in central India, is renowned for its rich cultural heritage, scenic beauty, and serene lakes. As the city continues to grow, addressing the transportation needs of its residents becomes crucial. To cater to the increasing demands for efficient public transportation, the Bhopal Metro came into existence with the motto to transform how people travel within the city.
