Bengaluru Metro Pink Line Opens to Passengers: Route, Timings and What Changes
Passenger services on Bengaluru’s new Pink Line elevated section began on November 14, giving commuters a new connection between Kalena Agrahara and S G Palya. Follow HilluBhai news for more updates.
Key details
| Item | Details |
|---|---|
| Operational stretch | 7.5 km elevated section |
| Stations | Six |
| Tuesday–Saturday start | 6:00 AM from both terminals |
| Sunday start | 7:00 AM from both terminals |
What has opened
JICA’s November 13 project update identifies the inaugurated section as the first operational part of the Pink Line. The complete corridor is planned to connect Kalena Agrahara with Nagawara, but the underground portion is not part of today’s opening.
Service pattern
BMRCL’s timetable, reported by PTI, provides earlier Monday departures: 4:55 AM from Kalena Agrahara and 5:00 AM from S G Palya. Weekday peak intervals are eight minutes, with ten-minute off-peak and weekend intervals. Last departures are listed as 10:50 PM and 10:54 PM respectively.
What commuters should check
The first section offers an alternative along the Bannerghatta Road corridor. Travellers should distinguish an operational station from a future extension when planning connections. Service intervals can be revised as demand becomes clearer. Journey planning should therefore use the operator’s latest station notices rather than an old opening-day timetable.
Reporting basis: JICA project update, November 13; BMRCL timetable as reported by PTI, November 13.
