Bengaluru Metro Purple Line Trains Between Majestic And Mysuru Road Suspended For 2 Hours On April 5

Commuters in Bengaluru are likely to face temporary inconvenience on Sunday, April 5, as the Bangalore Metro Rail Corporation Limited (BMRCL) has scheduled essential maintenance work on the Purple Line.

According to a report in The Times Of India

, the maintenance will be carried out between the Vijayanagar and Attiguppe Metro stations, leading to a brief disruption in train operations along this stretch.

As part of the maintenance plan, Metro services will remain suspended between the Majestic and Mysuru Road stations from 7 am to 9 am. This two-hour halt is expected to impact early morning commuters who rely on this busy corridor for their daily travel.

Operations To Continue On Other Stretches

Despite the disruption on a section of the Purple Line, Metro services on other routes will

function as per the regular schedule.

According to the TOI report, trains will commence operations at 7 am from their respective terminal stations on routes including Challaghatta to Mysuru Road, Majestic to Whitefield, Madavara to Silk Institute, and RV Road to Bommasandra.

Authorities have assured that efforts are being made to minimise inconvenience for passengers.

Advisory for Commuters

Passengers travelling on Sunday morning have been advised to plan their journeys accordingly and consider alternative modes of transport during the affected hours.

The temporary suspension is part of routine maintenance aimed at ensuring long-term safety and efficiency of Metro services.

BMTC Extends Validity Of Student Bus Passes

In a separate development, the Bangalore Metropolitan Transport Corporation (BMTC) has announced an extension in the validity of student bus passes for Classes 1 to 9.

The passes will now remain valid until April 10, providing relief to students and parents.

Earlier, concessional student passes were issued for travel between home and school only until March 31, marking the close of the academic year. The extension ensures that students can continue to use public transport without disruption during the transition period before the new academic session begins.
