The ongoing pandemic and lockdown situation has greatly affected train schedules in the city. Read ahead to know all about the current status of rail services in the city.

Are local trains available now?

While the state of Karnataka is currently under lockdown in a bid to bring down COVID-19 cases, local train services are yet to resume in Bangalore, much to the woes of essential service workers and other commuters.

All modes of public transport services, including railways, have been suspended. Only a limited number of public buses and scheduled inter-state trains are allowed to operate during this period.

When will Bangalore trains open to the general public?

Karnataka Chief Minister B S Yediyurappa on June 10 unveiled an unlock plan that will kick in from June 14 in 19 districts where relaxations have been given. Yet, public transport and local train services remain stopped.

Train services across Karnataka are expected to resume in a phased manner adhering to all safety precautions against COVID-19 once the lockdown is eased.
