Bangalore Metro Rail Corporation Limited (BMRCL) will extend Namma Metro services on Saturday, October 3, due to expected higher passenger demand.

Passengers are advised to use QR tickets, Smart Cards or NCMC Cards to avoid ticket-counter congestion, and to cooperate with Metro staff and security personnel for orderly boarding and passenger movement.

Bengaluru City station opened in 1968 after railway traffic outgrew earlier arrangements. Renamed Krantivira Sangolli Rayanna Bengaluru railway station in 2016, it is still widely known as Majestic. Its 10 platforms handle more than 180 passenger and express trains daily, while another 4,500 people visit each day to see someone off or welcome someone home. The station is part of a transport interchange where Indian Railways, BMTC buses, the Metro and auto-rickshaws converge. Its red-and-white facade, tall windows and Kannada, Hindi and English signboards make it a city landmark.

Rain on Wednesday morning, September 30, 2026, slowed traffic on the Hebbal–Yelahanka route to Kempegowda International Airport. The India Meteorological Department forecast light rain through the day, with possible waterlogging and congestion at busy junctions. Air France AF191 and Lufthansa LH755 were among delayed international services, potentially affecting morning domestic flights. Airlines must provide meals, an alternative flight or a refund depending on the delay; weather and air traffic control disruptions generally do not qualify for financial compensation. Passengers should retain boarding passes and screenshots.

Traffic was slow on Hebbal flyover ramps and Yelahanka roads; recent diversion trials had caused long queues. Two-wheelers and autos are temporarily allowed on the KIA elevated corridor, but lane discipline is advised. Entry and exit checks may also slow traffic.

Vayu Vajra buses KIA-9 from Majestic, KIA-5 via Hebbal and KIA-8 from Electronic City operate, including at night; timings are available on BMTC’s KIA portal. Airlines advise arriving two to three hours before departure. Use designated pickup zones at T1 and T2, where prolonged vehicle stops are not permitted.
