On weekdays the gap is 30 minutes until about 4:30 PM from Subhash Nagar (5:00 PM from AIIMS), then 15 minutes until the last train. The timetable gives the end-to-end run as 23 minutes. The Sunday sheet moves to 15-minute gaps from about 12:30 PM.
What changed
News reports of 24 July 2026 described a timetable with a 9:00 AM start, 15-minute gaps in the peaks and 50 trips a day. The September sheet starts at 11:30 AM and counts 42 weekday departures. The sheets themselves do not say why. A January timetable had only 13 trips at 75-minute gaps, so the service has been revised several times since the line opened in December 2025.
What we could not confirm
The PDF is labelled for weekdays and does not state whether Saturday follows it, so check the poster at the station if you travel on a Saturday. Late-evening and festival changes are announced separately by the operator.
Fares and station details are in the Bhopal guide.

MPMRCL's newer poster lists 25 percent off single tickets, 30 percent on returns and 35 percent for groups of two or more. Two posters disagree, so read this first.
Sixteen Yellow Line stations are open after the 6 September extension. The timetable from 25 September runs 7:30 AM to 9:30 PM, with discounts on return and group tickets.
