The Purple Line, hour by hour
BMRCL's Purple Line finished extending east to Whitefield and west to Challaghatta in 2023. Two years later, here's the typical day at every station on the line — entries and exits, averaged across September 2025. Some stations carry the city. Some are empty rooms.
Hour-by-hour at every station
Source: BMRCL station-wise hourly ridership, Sep 2025, via OpenCity. Each cell is the mean of entries + exits across the 30 days of September 2025. Purple Line rows are ordered geographically west-to-east; the small arrows on the left mark the western and eastern ends of the line. Other lines (Green, Yellow) are shown for context, in numbering order.
Who lives where, who works where
Split entries from exits in two commute windows. A station with many more entries than exits is an origin in that window — people boarding to leave. More exits than entries makes it a destination. Some stations flip role between morning and evening; that's the whole point.
Morning 06–10 AM
Evening 05–09 PM
Total passengers in the window across Sep 2025, summed per station. Stations on the Purple Line in geographic order, west to east, the same order in both panels. A bar that's mostly purple (entries) means people boarding there; mostly amber (exits) means people getting off. Labels marked only on the 3–4 most lopsided stations per window — hover any row for exact counts.
