Metro trains will run every three minutes from 9 am to 10.30 am between Kempegowda and Baiyappanahalli stations. The frequency between trains from Mysore Road will go up from 4 to 5 minutes during this time.
The higher frequency is the result of two additional short-loop trains on the line. In a press release, the Bangalore Metro Rail Corporation Limited said the number of short-loop trips had been increased from 9 to 11 to reduce the crowd at the Kempegowda metro station in Majestic. "Consequently, the headway from Mysore Road will be 5 minutes instead of the 4 minutes," the release said.
The corporation will run the six-car train for five trips on the Purple Line between Baiyappanahalli and Mysore Road.
