Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar will launch Patna's first metro service on Monday, marking a transformative moment for the state capital's transportation system. The 4.5-kilometer elevated route connects Patliputra Inter-State Bus Terminal to Bhootnath Station through Zero Mile as part of the Red Line corridor. Kumar will also break ground for a 9.35-kilometer underground tunnel linking Patna Junction to Rukunpura.
The Patna Metro Rail Corporation collaborated with the Delhi Metro Rail Corporation to complete preparations after receiving safety clearance from the Commissioner of Metro Rail Safety. Each three-coach train holds 900 passengers, and the cars feature Madhubani artwork alongside images of Golghar, Mahabodhi Temple, Buddha Stupa, and Nalanda ruins. The zero-emission system aims to reduce traffic congestion, and it will serve thousands of daily commuters across key locations like Bhootnath Road, Khemni Chak, and Zero Mile.
