Patna Metro — Quick overview
Patna Metro is a new rapid transit system designed to transform urban connectivity across Patna city. The initial corridors connect major residential, institutional and transport hubs, reducing travel time and easing traffic congestion. The project uses elevated and underground sections and modern stations with accessibility features, retail spaces and passenger amenities. The first priority corridor (a short elevated section connecting major stations) is scheduled to open in the near future and will form the backbone of wider phased expansion. The metro aims to bring safer, faster and eco-friendly commuting for daily riders, boost local business corridors and provide better last-mile integration with buses and intercity rail.
