Bhopal Metro riders, please take note! The timetable for the stretch between Subhash Nagar and AIIMS station has been partly changed. The new timings will start on 16 November 2026 and will apply from Monday to Saturday. The metro authorities say the change has been made to make travel easier for passengers and to run the service in a better way. If you travel by metro regularly, this small update may change your daily plan.
Bhopal Metro Timings from Monday to Saturday
Under the new timetable, metro services will be available from 12 noon to 7:30 pm. The timings are different for the two ends of the route, so it helps to know exactly when your train will leave.
From Subhash Nagar station, the first train will leave at 12 noon and the last train will leave at 7 pm. From AIIMS station, the first train will leave at 12:40 pm and the last train will leave at 7:30 pm. So if you are planning to return from AIIMS in the evening, 7:30 pm is the last train you can catch.
The metro will also run at fixed gaps during the day. In peak hours, when the most people travel, a train will come every 20 minutes. In off-peak hours, when stations are less crowded, a train will come every 40 minutes. A simple tip: reach the station a few minutes early, because the gap between two trains can be quite long, and missing one may mean waiting for a while.
Bhopal Metro Service on Sundays and Public Holidays
There is good news for those who travel on holidays. Nothing has changed for Sundays and public holidays. On these days, the metro will keep running on the old timetable.
On Sundays and public holidays, services will run from 11:30 am to 8:30 pm. From 11:30 am to 1 pm, a train will come every 30 minutes. After that, from 1 pm to 8:30 pm, a train will come every 15 minutes. This means more trains will be available in the afternoon and evening, when many families and friends step out to enjoy their day off.
The new arrangement is meant to give passengers an easier and better travel experience. Whether you are going to work, to college or to the hospital, it is a good idea to check the new timings before you leave home. Students, office-goers and daily commuters should especially note the date, 16 November 2026, and plan their trips on Monday to Saturday accordingly.
