Pune Most Awaited Metro Corridor Adds Walking Bridges Cycle Bays and App Rides Before Day One
With the inaugural phase of Metro Line 3 on the Hinjewadi to Shivajinagar corridor inching toward its scheduled July debut the Pune Metropolitan Region Development Authority has been working at an accelerated pace to ensure passengers can travel the final stretch between stations and their workplaces without needing a personal vehicle. Elevated pedestrian walkways are being constructed at strategic points along the 23 kilometre route with one such structure already largely complete and nearing handover while additional crossings to other technology campuses remain under active construction. The first operational phase will cover twelve stations between Maan in Hinjewadi and Ramnagar in Baner and is anticipated to receive final regulatory clearance before the close of June paving the way for commercial passenger services the following month. A PMRDA official noted that access to one prominent technology hub is practically finalised and the authority is pushing to replicate that standard of direct pedestrian access across the remaining employment centres along the line.
Planners have built a layered travel network around the metro corridor that goes well beyond the train service itself encompassing feeder buses running to and from stations designated zones for taxis and three wheelers spaces for bicycles and electric rickshaws and parking bays for both two and four wheeled private vehicles at locations where ground conditions allow. Connectivity with digital ride hailing platforms is also being woven into the system so that commuters can plan door to door journeys through a single interface. The overarching aim as articulated by senior PMRDA engineers is to make the metro the obvious and convenient choice for daily travel replacing the private car and motorcycle trips that currently choke the roads between Hinjewadi and central Pune. If the surrounding infrastructure performs as intended the corridor could mark a genuine turning point in how the city's large technology workforce moves between home and office each day.
