Important suburban railway station on the Bangalore-Mysore line
Cheaper option for Mysore travel
Note: TTMC is at 'Kengeri Bus Terminal' metro station, not here
Don't confuse with Kengeri Bus Terminal metro station
The first metro from Kengeri 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. Kengeri sits on the Purple Line between Pattanagere and Kengeri Bus Terminal, and opened in June 2023.
Use Exit A — it opens onto Kengeri Main Road and puts you within a 400m walk (about 6–7 minutes) of Kengeri Railway Station, an important suburban stop on the Bangalore–Mysore line. This makes the metro a convenient combined-transit option for outstation travel to Mysore, Mandya and Hassan.
No — Kengeri Metro Station and Kengeri Bus Terminal Metro Station are two separate, adjacent stops on the Purple Line. Kengeri serves the main township, Kengeri Railway Station and nearby colleges. The Kengeri TTMC bus terminal is at the next station (Kengeri Bus Terminal metro), not here — plan accordingly to avoid a 1km walk.
