About Patna Metro

Patna Metro is a transformational rapid transit project for Patna city, designed to relieve traffic congestion, reduce travel times, and provide a modern, accessible public transport option. Phase-1 consists of multiple corridors (commonly referred to as the Blue and Red lines) connecting key hubs such as Patna Junction, Rajendra Nagar, Patliputra ISBT and other high-density areas. Sections of Phase-1 include elevated stretches and underground tunnels; priority corridors are being commissioned first to kickstart operations. The system will operate with modern coaches, automated fare collection (including QR and smartcard options), and barrier-free station access (lifts/escalators) to serve daily commuters, students and visitors. This page provides an interactive route map, station details and a fare calculator that reflects the latest published fares or your live data feed if available. For published status updates and launch schedule used here, see the references at the bottom of the page.
