Metro Lite is an urban transit system that acts as a feeder system for the city’s current metro systems with lower projected ridership.
Once the DPR is prepared, it will be sent to the state government for approval and to seek funding. The per kilometer cost of Metro Lite is about Rs. 150 crores, lower in comparison to Metro. The passengers per hour per direction (PHPDT) for Metro Neo is about 8,000 and about 15,000 for Metro Lite. Hence, Metro Lite is being considered a better option.
