Bengaluru Metro's Purple Line also known as the Whitefield-Challaghatta Metro corridor will be fully operational from Monday, October 9, without any official inauguration, Bangalore Central MP, PC Mohan informed on Sunday.
The entire purple line of the Namma Metro in Bengaluru will be open for commercial operations starting October 9. The missing links on this line, Challaghatta-Kengeri and K R Pura-Byappanahalli, will be operational without any formal inauguration. The decision was made due to immense public pressure and the need for seamless connectivity across the city.
The 2.1-km Baiyappanahalli-KR Pura and 2.05-km Kengeri-Challaghatta sections will open to the public from 5 am. They are part of the Purple Line, which will stretch from Whitefield in the east to Challaghatta in the west and span 42.85 km
