Location

Trinity is an elevated metro station on the East-West corridor of the Purple Line of Namma Metro in Bangalore, India.[3] It was opened to the public on 20 October 2011.[4] The station was constructed by Punj Lloyd.[5]

History

On 9 July 2014, the Bangalore Metro Rail Corporation Ltd (BMRCL) issued a tender for co-branding the station with a large corporation. The winning company will be given signage and a kiosk in the station, and their name will become part of the station name, and announced when the stop is called on board the trains.[6]

Station structure

Basement

The BMRCL constructed a 4,000 sq ft area basement at the station in early 2016. The agency initially planned to use the space for storage, but later decided to rent it out for use by cultural groups. Initially, music jams occurred in basement, but it was more suited for theatre. The basement has eighteen lights installed, and the floor is painted to form a stage. The space can be rented out by obtaining permission from the metro office at MG Road. The BMRCL charges a rent of ₹400 (US$4.60) per hour.[7]
