Evening and Night Services

The operating hours for weekdays (Monday to Saturday) typically start from 5:00 AM. However, the timings can vary slightly between different lines:

Purple Line

The first train from both Baiyappanahalli and Mysore Road starts at 5:30 AM. The last trains for the Purple Line depart at 9:00 PM from Baiyappanahalli and 10:30 PM from Mysore Road. Service for the Purple Line ends at 11:00 PM on weekdays.

Green Line

The first train from both Nagasandra and Yelechenahalli starts at 5:30 AM. The last trains for the Green Line depart at 23:30 PM from Nagasandra and 22:05 PM from Yelechenahalli. Service for the Green Line also ends at 11:00 PM on weekdays.

On Sundays, the service starts even later at 8:00 AM and still ends within the same timeframe at 11:00 PM. The reason for a later start on Sundays is that the metro needs time for maintenance and cleaning during the day.

Significant Notes

There are some interesting notes regarding the schedules:

First Train and Clean-Up: The first metro train starts at 5:30 AM for both the Purple and Green lines. Night Services and Crowding: Night services on weekdays last until 11:00 PM. However, Sunday metro services are less crowded but start much later, which can affect morning plans. Maintenance and Cleaning: The only time the metro is allowed for cleaning and maintenance is during the early hours of Sunday. This is important for keeping the metro clean and safe for passengers. Prohibition of Eating and Drinking: To prevent pollution, the metro authorities have banned eating and drinking inside the metro. This measure has been appreciated for maintaining the cleanliness of the transport system.
