The BMRCL is all set to resume operations from September 7 after a gap of five months. Keeping safety precautions in mind, a hand-reading thermostat has been placed at the entrance of each station. Passengers should place their hand at a 3-cm distance from the thermostat, and only after it reads ‘access granted’, can commuters enter the station.

From September 11, Metro services will be functional between 7 am and 9 pm. Until then, Purple Line trains will run from Monday onwards between 8am and 11 am, and 4.30pm and 7.30pm. Green Line trains will run from September 9 onwards.
