However, as usual, metro trains will stop at adjacent stations viz Trinity and Cubbon Park metro stations."

"To avoid overcrowding and inconvenience to fellow passengers, it is advised that commuters traveling towards Whitefield (Kadugodi) use Trinity metro station and those traveling towards Challaghatta, Nagasandra, and Silk Institute use Cubbon Park metro station as both these stations are at an equal distance from MG Road metro station," the BMRCL said.
