Another Indian city gets the metro. BengaLuru now has Namma Metro. The initial phase runs between Mahatma Gandhi Road (MG Road) and ByyappanahaLLi. The way the name of the destination has been written, has created some confusion among media personalities. The correct pronunciation of the name is buy-up-and-a-hully (hully rhymes with sully). In Hindi this would read as बैयप्पनहळ्लि. (the 'ai' sound is pronounced the Bhojpuri or the South Indian way). If you can read KannaDa this reads as ಬೈಯಪ್ಪನಹಳ್ಳಿ
One of the stations on the initial route is Halasuru. The pronunciation of this word is hull-a-sue-rue. In Hindi this would read हलसूरु. In KannaDa this would read as ಹಲಸೂರು
