Bengaluru Namma Metro: The Bengaluru Metro Rail Corporation Limited (BMRCL) has notified passengers that services on the Yellow Line would begin one hour later than normal on December 21. This means that commuters who travel Bengaluru’s Namma Metro in the morning may experience delays on Sunday.

In a press release, BMRCL said, “Bangalore Metro Rail Corporation Limited (BMRCL) wishes to inform its commuters that the train services on the Yellow Line will commence one hour late than the scheduled time on 21 December 2025 (Sunday).”

The first train service on the Yellow Line will start at 8:00 AM rather than the customary 7:00 AM, according to BMRCL.

The services will thereafter proceed according to the standard Sunday timetable. “This change is applicable only for one day, i.e, 21.12.2025 on the Yellow Line,” said BMRCL.
