Maharashtra Metro Rail Corporation (Maha Metro) is preparing a detailed project report (DPR) under Phase-II for the extension of the 33.1km stretch of Pune metro. The Phase I of the metro line is nearing completion. The Phase II corridors will cover a total distance of 82.5km, linking Vanaz to Chandani Chowk (1.5km), Ramwadi to Wagholi (12km), Hadapsar to Kharadi (5km), Swargate to Hadapsar (7km), Khadakwasla to Swargate (13km) and SNDT to Warje (8km), as well as 36-km along the proposed High Capacity Mass Transit Route (HCMTR) within PMC limit. As part of the initiative, Maha Metro will conduct a door-to-door study for ridership estimation and public transport preferences among residents. The survey will be conducted through UMTC Limited and Data Corp Traffic Private Limited, which are associated with Maha-Metro. In this connection, a questionnaire for residents consists of frequency and modes of travel by people and the overall opinion about public transport, informed Managing Director Brijesh Dixit.
