Bangalore Namma Metro Update: With the third season of the Women’s Premier League (WPL) 2025 in full swing, Bangalore Metro Rail Corporation Limited (BMRCL) has announced extended metro services on the Purple and Green Lines to accommodate match-day travelers. This decision, taken in collaboration with the Government of India and the Government of Karnataka, aims to ensure seamless transportation for cricket fans attending the games.

To make it easier for fans to commute to and from the stadium, BMRCL has decided to run metro services later than usual on match days. "To facilitate smooth travel for WPL spectators, metro train services on both Purple and Green Lines will be extended," BMRCL confirmed in a post on X (formerly Twitter).

- Maximum fare increased from Rs 60 to Rs 90
