 Pune Metro Rail Project - Historical Perspective

Pune metro

When the Union Cabinet approved the project on December, 2001, the first step towards realizing the dream of Pune Metro was taken and soon after, Prime Minister Narendra Modi laid the foundation stone of the project at the hands of Prime Minister Narendra Modi.

Project

The project, to be constructed by Maha-Metro, has two corridors (North-South Corridor and East-West Corridor) and its length is .6 33..6 K K km. There are 2 km.1 km high and the remaining 4.450 km are underground.

Corridor 1 (North-South) Pimpri-Chinchwad to Swargate is 1..90 0 4 km long and has 14 stations (elevated and underground) while Vanaz to Ramwadi to Corridor 2 (East-West) 1.74741 Km long and has 1  elevated station.

The Civil Court Station provides an interchange between the two corridors. The project has two modern metro coach maintenance depots, Vanaj and Range Hill

Pune's state-of-the-art, comfortable, affordable, comprehensive and durable metro rail will have an operating speed of 0 km per hour (fast design speed k 0 km per hour), an ultra-modern communication based train control system using the Excel counter system to find secondary trains for backup signaling. Arrange so that it can run the designed main route. The the automated fare collection system is a combo-based on smart cards and computerized paper tickets.

 

Priority section - Chugging along to open at the end of the year

The Maha-Metro team is committed to complete the Pune Metro project in a timely and cost-effective manner. The assurance was given by the Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi earlier this year added to the adrenal of the Sangh, a part of the Pune Metro Railway will be thrown in the open by the people of Pune by the end of the year, he said in a public meeting.

Taking note of the Prime Minister's decision, the Maha-Metro the team carried out a vigorous inspection and a 7 km stretch between PCMC and Dapodi at the end of the year. Decided the priority department of distance. This section will start from the rear of PCMC station and end at Dapodi station. The first two stations will be Sant Tukaram and Dapodi. Other stations init will open progressively

To be satisfied, the Maha-Metro squad has set up another five km priority section from Wanaj to Garware College which will start for passenger operations soon after the PCMC-Dapodi section opens.

Make in Dream for the last two decades

But the attempt of Pune Metro did not come during the day.

This work has been going on for two decades. In 2001, Messrs. Rights, in a report initiated by the Pune Municipal Corporation, first set up an MRTS network (22.4646 km) along the corridor of the Agricultural College at Shivaji Nagar. Lines 1 and 2 will be included by 2006-2006. The length of Phase-II and Phase-III corridors of the network is 68.32322 km. Is long, in which line,,,, and 20 have been started till the year 20226.

Action on the recommendations of Messrs. Ritz has not yet begun, and various other options within the city, such as -

(A)  Konkan Railway Corporation Limited - KRCL had recommended the construction of two corridors of Sky Bus System in 2003. But the project has not seen the light of day.

(B)   The preparation of DPR for the tramway system in Pune by the German city of Bremen (sister city of Pune) after the accident related to the proto-experimental experimental system built at Goa was another wrong start. The project has not been implemented.

(C)  In March 200, based on the master plan of Bus Rapid Transit System developed by CIRT, the city set up a massive Bus Rapid Transit System with 22 Corridor Cycle Network and Riverside BRTS Road. The network can only be completed on a few corridors and except for two corridors, it could not be an optimal solution.

The latest inspiration for the metro rail project

The journey of the Pune Metro Railway literally began with a meeting between the city planning legislators (MLAs) in June and September 200 in two municipal corporations, resulting in the DMRC being asked to prepare a project DPR in the 200. The DPR report was submitted in 200 in. Project approved by DMRC and State Government on September 2, 2010. The Central The government gave its in-principle approval on 11 February 201. However, even after the central government approved the project in principle by the state government, it was further delayed as the Pune Metro rail project, like any major city infrastructure, went through intense stakeholder scrutiny. The roadblocks facing this project include the argument for the existence of a metro rail in the city, the suitability of the chosen alignment, and the scientific binary discussion of an “underground versus advanced” metro rail.

Meeting chaired by the Chief Minister.

In order to solve these problems and remove road barriers, a the meeting was held in March 2015 under the chairmanship of Hon'ble Chief Minister of Maharashtra in which Threadbare discussed all the issues. The meeting was attended by prominent political figures including Shri Sharad Pawar; City lawmakers (MPs, MLAs, and municipal representatives); Managing Director of DMRC; The representative of the Ministry of Urban Development, Government of India; Pune and Pimpri Chinchwad Municipal Commissioners; Prominent citizens (including Mr. Vijay Kelkar, Arun Firodia, and Mr. S. D. Limaye). These problems and obstacles were removed on the recommendation of the committee set up by the Chief Minister on March, 201. Subsequently, the project DPR was revised in 201D and final approval was given to the project in December 2001.

As the project took off

When the Metro Rail project was first started till 201 By, the population of Pune was 5.5 million as compared to 2001. The city has become a thriving metropolis and an important industrial, educational, and information technology hub in the country. But so far, Pune has also become a city where urban traffic barriers have increased a lot, with more than 80% of two-wheeler traffic, where the share of public transport has been reduced, and finally where peak-hours are. Horse-drawn carriage speed (8 to 10 km per hour).

But it's all set to change:

The people of Pune have patiently waited for two decades for a fast, comfortable, safe, secure, and inclusive environment-friendly sustainable metro rail passenger crisis. Maha-Metro is committed to delivering exactly what the city needs and deserves. Starting a priority area in the next few months is just the beginning. The Maha-Metro team is fully prepared to complete the entire advanced section by the end of 2012 and the completed project by 2022.

Pune metro ticket price

An integrated fare system has also been devised to facilitate seamless transfers, however, the exact fare for the same journey may vary depending on the operator. MI CARD (Marathi: मी कार्ड), a smart card currently used in bus and BRTS services operated by PMPML, will be used as a general mobility card on metro services as well as parking facilities.
