The technical issue encountered at Cubbon Park MRT station here has been successfully rectified and normal services have been resumed on the Purple Line, BMRCL said on Wednesday.
Metro services on the Purple Line were affected on Tuesday evening during peak hours due to a technical malfunction on a train at Cubbon Park MRT station.
The disturbance led to severe congestion at several metro stations on the Purple Line, including Coupon Park and MG Road. Office-goers were heading home, and many commuters were stranded and had to look for alternative modes of transportation, including cars and app-based taxis, to reach their destinations.
The Namma Metro Purple Line runs from Whitefield (Kadugudi) in the east to Chalaghata in the southwest.
Taking to social media platform ‘X’, Bengaluru Metro Rail Corporation Limited (BMRCL) informed that the technical issue encountered at Cubbon Park Metro station has been successfully rectified by the dedicated operations and maintenance team.
Regular metro services across the entire Purple Line have resumed on the regular schedule as of 5am today.
BMRCL requested commuters to take note of the restoration process and continue to avail the safe, reliable and efficient services of Namma Metro.
“BMRCL sincerely thanks all passengers for their patience, understanding and cooperation during the temporary service outage,” she added.
