BMRCL extends operating hours of Namma Metro

BMRCL on Tuesday announced that it will extend service hours from Thursday (November 18).

From Monday to Saturday, the first trains will depart from terminal stations at 6 am, and on Sundays at 7 pm the last train will leave from Nagasandra, Silk Institute, Kengeri and Baiyappanahalli stations at 11 pm. BMRCL in a release said that all the days will be at 11.30 pm in all the four directions.

A large number of people are using Namma Metro services to go to work. Many were demanding that BMRCL, which was running trains from 6 am to 10 pm, increase the operating hours after the government lifted the night curfew in the first week of November.
