Train Frequency by Time of Day
How often Namma Metro trains arrive changes through the day. Peak hours have the shortest waits; early-morning and late-night services are spaced further apart.
| Time of Day | Purple & Green | Yellow |
|---|---|---|
| Early morning (before 7 AM) | 15–30 min | 15–20 min |
| Morning peak (8–11 AM) | 7–8 min | ~7 min |
| Midday off-peak (11 AM–5 PM) | 8–10 min | 10–12 min |
| Evening peak (5–8 PM) | 7–8 min | ~7 min |
| Late night (after 10 PM) | 10–25 min | 15–20 min |
BMRCL operates additional trains from select intermediate stations during demand surges. Train timings may vary subject to planned activities or special events.
Catching the Last Train & Interchanges
If your journey involves an interchange, plan for the earlier of the two lines' last trains. The last service leaves the terminals, so the further you are down a line, the earlier the last usable train passes your station.
- Majestic (Nadaprabhu Kempegowda): the Purple ↔ Green interchange. Plan to be here before ~10:45 PM to make an onward connection.
- RV Road: the Green ↔ Yellow interchange. The Yellow Line runs late (last train 11:55 PM from RV Road), but the Green Line feeding it finishes earlier.
- Jayadeva Hospital: future Pink ↔ Yellow interchange (Pink Line elevated section targeting August 2026). Once open, plan extra time to reach this interchange.
- Central Silk Board: future Blue ↔ Yellow interchange (Blue Line Phase 2A targeting late 2026). Currently Yellow Line only.
As a rule of thumb, if you need to change lines, aim to start your journey at least 60–75 minutes before the last train at your origin.
