Train services will be available from 5 a.m. to 11 p.m. on weekdays, and from 7 a.m. on Sundays.
With more people commuting to work and growing demand for longer operating hours, Bangalore Metro Rail Corporation Limited (BMRCL) has decided to advance metro services by an hour in the morning. BMRCL managing director Anjum Parwez told The Hindu that from Monday, December 20 onwards, BMRCL will operate Namma Metro services from 5 a.m. to 11 p.m. At present, first trains depart stations at 6 a.m.
“From next week, we will return to a schedule that is almost similar to that of pre-COVID times,” said BMRCL managing director Anjum Parwez, adding that the number of people travelling in Namma Metro has been steadily increasing over the last few months. “We have now touched a ridership of almost 3 lakh per day. Increased train services will help the passengers in the coming days.”
