The first metro from Baiyyappanahalli Station departs at 5:00 AM (Tuesday–Saturday; Mondays start earlier at ~4:15 AM) and 7:00 AM on Sundays. The last train is around 11:00 PM. Baiyyappanahalli is on the Purple Line and was Namma Metro's original eastern terminus when the line opened in October 2011.
Use Exit B for both. The BMTC Bus Terminal is about 200m away and Baiyyappanahalli Railway Station is about 500m via Exit B. Exit A leads to Old Madras Road and Gopalan Signature Mall (about 1km). Prepaid autos and paid parking (200+ vehicle capacity) are available at the station.
No. The BMRCL depot and headquarters adjacent to Baiyyappanahalli Station is Namma Metro's primary maintenance facility and is not open to the public. The station itself, however, is fully accessible with lifts, escalators, and step-free access from both exits.
