Cubbon Park is a station on the Purple Line of the Namma Metro in Bangalore, India. It was opened to the public on 30 April 2016. The station is located a few metres away from one of the entrances to Cubbon Park.[1]
The Cubbon Park metro station, like all other underground stations on the Purple Line, was built using the cut-and-cover method.[2]
There was a proposal to build a 35 km line known as Bangalore High-Speed Rail Link, from Cubbon Road to the Bengaluru International Airport in Devanahalli, according to BMRCL sources.[3] This later shelved.
