Bengaluru Pink Line begins operations today; BMRCL announces timings as commuters seek faster completion of underground section

Bengaluru Train services on the elevated section of Bengaluru Metro’s Pink Line between Kalena Agrahara and S.G. Palya will commence on Saturday, November 14,the Bangalore Metro Rail Corporation Limited (BMRCL) announced on Friday, following its inauguration by Prime Minister Narendra Modi. However, the opening of the partial stretch has drawn mixed reactions from commuters, with several pointing out that the elevated section alone is unlikely to make a significant difference to the city’s overall metro connectivity.

They have urged the BMRCL to expedite the completion and opening of the underground section, which is crucial to connecting south Bengaluru with the Central Business District (CBD) and north Bengaluru. Schedule According to the schedule released by the BMRCL, the first train on Mondays will depart from Kalena Agrahara at 4.55 a.m., while services from S.G. Palya will begin at 5 a.m.

From Tuesday to Saturday, the first trains will operate from both terminal stations at 6 a.m. On Sundays, services will commence at 7 a.m.
