Pune: Prime Minister Narendra Modi will inaugurate Metro on Sunday (Jan. 6). From the same day after the inauguration, both Pimpri-Chinchwad to Phugewadi and Vanaj to Garware routes will be started on commercial basis. The minimum fare for this route will be Rs 10 and maximum fare will be Rs 20. If you want a return ticket, you have to pay a fee of Rs. Both places will have the same ticket price.

If the metro is 20 and crowded at each station, it will stop for 30 seconds. The doors of all Metro coaches are automatically closed and opened. The metro will not continue until the door is closed. For the first few days, Mahometro will be a helping point for passengers at each station. Apart from this, there will be a staff at the station and in the coach to guide the passengers. The staff will guide passengers on where to get tickets, when, where and how to get to the two-storey station.
