While commuting in Bengaluru, I noticed something frustrating.
Most metro tools can tell you which route to take, but they often miss the information commuters actually need in the moment:
- Which platform should I go to?
- Which direction should I board?
- Where exactly do I interchange?
- Which line do I switch to?
So I decided to solve that problem by building a practical tool inside my project EnableFlow.

What I Built
A Bengaluru Metro Planner for daily commuters using Namma Metro.
It helps users quickly plan journeys across:
- Purple Line
- Green Line
- Yellow Line
And gives step-by-step practical guidance.
✨ Features
Route Planning
Select any source and destination station.
Example:
Whitefield → Bommanahalli
Platform Numbers
Shows the platform to board from.
Example:
Platform 2
Towards Challaghatta
Interchange Guidance
Shows where to switch lines, such as:
- Majestic
- RV Road
Boarding Direction
Instead of confusion, users see:
- Towards Whitefield
- Towards Silk Institute
- Towards Bommasandra
Mobile Friendly UI
Built to be quick and easy during real travel.
Why I Built It
I wanted to create tools that solve real everyday problems, not just demo projects.
Metro travel in Bengaluru is growing fast, and many commuters are new to the network.
Simple, clear travel guidance saves time and avoids confusion.
Technical Side
This project helped me work on:
- Data structuring for metro stations and lines
- Route calculation logic
- Platform mapping
- Interchange handling
- Frontend UI/UX
- SEO focused utility products
What I Learned
Utility products are powerful.
When you solve one real pain point clearly, users instantly understand the value.
What’s Next
I plan to improve it further with:
- More city transit tools
- Better maps
- Fare calculator
- Live train support
- More commuter utilities inside EnableFlow
