Early Metro Services Announced for Bidadi Half Marathon

The Bangalore Metro Rail Corporation Limited (BMRCL) has announced early metro services on March 23 to accommodate participants of the Bidadi Half Marathon.

Metro services will start at 5 am, two hours earlier than usual, from all four terminal stations. Additionally, services from Nadaprabhu Kempegowda Station, Majestic, towards Challaghatta, will begin as early as 4 am to assist marathon runners.

BMRCL has urged commuters to take note of the altered schedule and plan their travel accordingly.

The BMRCL recently also introduced extended metro services on the Purple Line, with evening operations now beginning two hours earlier, at 3:56 pm instead of 5:56 pm, and trains running every five minutes until 8 pm.

This change is intended to ease evening congestion, particularly for office-goers in the IT corridor. Commuters are encouraged to plan their journeys accordingly and take advantage of the revised schedule.

Yellow Line Update Bengaluru’s much-awaited Yellow Line of Namma Metro, connecting RV Road to Bommasandra, is expected to begin operations by May 2025, according to Karnataka Deputy Chief Minister and Bengaluru Development Minister DK Shivakumar.

Pink Line Update Shivakumar also provided an update on the Pink Line, which will run from Kalena Agrahara (Gottigere) to Nagawara. This 21.2-km stretch includes a 7.5-km elevated section and a 13.7-km underground portion. The elevated section, from Kalena Agrahara to Tavarekere (Swagath Cross), is set to open by December 2025, while the underground portion, from Dairy Circle to Nagawara, is expected to be completed by December 2026.
