Bengaluru: Namma Metro is all set to increase the frequency of trains from eight minutes to six minutes during morning and evening peak hours from Wednesday, July 20.

A train will run every six minutes between 7.46am and 9.10am and between 5pm and 7.54pm. The frequency has been reduced for certain non-peak hours. From the Mysuru Road end, a train will run every six minutes from 8.22am to 9.52am and between 5.48pm and 8.37pm.

The frequency has been reduced from 10 minutes to 15 minutes from 6am to 7.15am and from 9.15am to 10am from Baiyappanahalli Metro station and from 6am to 7.58am from Mysuru Road.

Namma Metro is running one train every seven minutes during peak hours in the last 15 days.

“There is a huge patronage for Metro now and hence we have taken the decision in public interest. We are planning to run a train every three minutes during peak hours after the North-South Corridor also becomes operational,” BMRCL Managing Director Pradeep Singh Kharola said.
