Yellow Line Metro Timings

The Yellow Line of Bengaluru's Namma Metro will operate from 5:00 AM to 11:00 PM, offering early-morning and late-night connectivity across the city. Initially, the line will launch with just three trains, running at intervals of 20 to 25 minutes.

The end-to-end travel time across the 19.15 km stretch is estimated to be around 80 minutes.

According to BMRCL, daily ridership is expected to start at around 25,000 passengers, with numbers projected to rise to over 2 lakh commuters as more trains are added and frequency improves.
