Infosys explained that special shuttle buses managed by ELCITA will be running between the Infosys Foundation Konappana Agrahara Station and several Infosys office locations in Electronics City. These shuttles are scheduled to sync with metro arrival times during the rush hours, and a direct skywalk from the station leads employees straight to Infosys Metro Plaza, which requires ID verification for entry, the email stated.

The company expressed hope that widespread metro adoption will help reduce city traffic and urged staff to opt for the new route when possible.

“Infoscions who work out of Electronics City should alight at the “Infosys Foundation–Konappana Agrahara” station, which is closest to the campus. After exiting, head to the Sky Walk — this newly opened entry provides direct and convenient access from the station into the Infosys Metro Plaza,” the email stated.

“We encourage everyone to try this efficient, traffic-free commute and help decongest the city streets, especially during peak hours,” it added.
