In anticipation of large crowds on MG Road, the MG Road Metro Station will be closed for entry and exit from 11:00 PM onwards.

Regular QR code tickets and metro cards remain valid.

To ease boarding, passengers heading to Whitefield and Silk Institute are encouraged to use Trinity Metro Station, while those traveling towards Challaghatta and Madavara should use Cubbon Park Metro Station.
