Attention Bengaluru! Namma Metro to start early on May 10, check timings

Bengaluru: The Bangalore Metro Rail Corporation Limited (BMRCL) on Saturday withdrew its previous notification regarding the temporary suspension of services on two stations at Purple Line.

The U-turn comes just a day after it had announced a scheduled maintenance block between Shri Balagangadhara Swamyji (Hosahalli) and Cubbon Park stations.

BMRCL confirmed that metro operations will now remain unaffected across the entire network. To accommodate a projected surge in ridership due to several high-profile events scheduled across the city, the corporation has further decided to advance the commencement of services.

Breaking away from the traditional 7 am Sunday start, trains will start at 5 am on May 10. This change in timing is only for this particular day given the activities in and around the city.
