The long-awaited metro line from Baiyappanahalli to Whitefield is now open, which is a big step forward for Bengaluru's public transportation system. This 15.5 km stretch of the Namma Metro Purple Line is an important part of the line that runs from Challaghatta to Whitefield (Kadugodi).
Every day, thousands of people drive between the city's tech lines and residential areas. They will be very thankful for this building project. The newly opened part of the Whitefield and Outer Ring Road areas is not only easy to get to, but it also helps keep the roads from getting too crowded.
From Baiyappanahalli to Whitefield (Kadugodi), the first Metro leaves at 5:46 AM and the last one leaves at 11:51 PM. The service goes from about 5 AM to 11 PM, Monday through Friday, with trains every 5 to 7 minutes.
The trip lasts 33 minutes and costs ₹11–17. On the other hand, every 10 minutes, Namma Metro runs a tube from Swami Vivekananda Road to Majestic. The trip lasts 15 minutes and costs ₹30–50.
The metro price for this trip is ₹60, but smartcard holders may get a discount. The lowest fare is ₹10 and the highest fare is ₹90.
Along its 15.5 km stretch from Baiyappanahalli to Whitefield, the Purple Line passes through some of Bengaluru's busiest and most important areas. It offers easy access to schools, IT parks, and residential areas.
The major stations include ITPL, Whitefield, KR Puram, and Hoodi Junction. This metro line is especially helpful for people working in the Whitefield tech hub, home to many IT and multinational companies. It also benefits residents of Mahadevapura, Hoodi, and Kadugodi who previously faced difficulties accessing reliable public transportation.
Before the metro, travel from Baiyappanahalli to Whitefield could take more than 90 minutes during peak traffic hours, especially on Old Madras Road and ITPL Main Road. Now, the metro has significantly reduced travel time, offering a faster, air-conditioned, and stress-free commute.
The completion of the Baiyappanahalli to Whitefield metro stretch greatly supports Bengaluru's growth. It promotes transit-oriented development, improves work-life balance, and boosts connectivity between major parts of the city. Property values near metro stations have increased, and local businesses are experiencing more customers.
Additionally, this metro line enhances access to other important routes in the Namma Metro network. This 15.5 km section is more than just transportation—it represents convenience, sustainability, and economic growth through faster travel, eco-friendly systems, and better connectivity to job centres.
