The new Pune Metro route from Ruby Hall Clinic to Ramwadi has got a good response, with more than 52,000 commuters having travelled on it since it’s inauguration on March 6 at the hands of Prime Minister Narendra Modi.
The inauguration was delayed by a few months due to the PM’s busy schedule. Earlier, it was planned for February 19 but got delayed due to the PM’s visit being postponed. Finally on March 6, he managed to virtually inaugurate it in just a few seconds from Kolkata. He also performed the ground-breaking ceremony of the extended metro line from Pimpri-Chinchwad Municipal Corporation (PCMC) to Nigadi via video conferencing.
Hemant Sonawane, executive director, Pune Metro, said, “On March 6 and 7, we received good response from commuters. We registered a ridership of 52,763 on these two days. We got a revenue of ₹4.33 lakh. We will be able to know the exact ridership per day after one week.”
“This stretch now connects Kothrud to Ramwadi, and Ramwadi to the PCMC area. The Metro administration expects even more people to use the Metro in the coming weeks,” Sonawane said.
Kunal Patil, a resident of Ramwadi, said, “I am working in an office located in the Shaniwar Peth area. I used to travel by bus but now, it has become easy to catch a metro train from PMC and reach Ramwadi comfortably.”
