As a result, Metro stations including Cubbon Park, Dr. B.R. Ambedkar, Vidhana Soudha, Sir M. Visvesvaraya, Central College, Majestic (Purple Line), and Krantiveera Sangolli Rayanna Railway Station will remain closed during this period.
In an official statement, BMRCL also mentioned that QR ticket purchases will be disabled throughout the maintenance window. Passengers are advised to avoid buying QR tickets or tokens for travel between the Purple and Green Lines during this time, as no Purple Line trains will be available at Nadaprabhu Kempegowda Station, Majestic, until 10 AM.
However, train services on the remaining sections of the Purple Line—Challaghatta to Magadi Road and MG Road to Whitefield (Kadugodi)—will operate as per their regular schedule, starting at 7 AM. Similarly, Metro trains on the Green Line will commence service as usual at 7 AM from both Silk Institute and Madavara Metro stations.
Commuters are encouraged to plan their travel accordingly to avoid inconvenience.
