Nitish Kumar To Inaugurate First Phase Of Patna Metro Rail Service Today

Chief Minister Nitish Kumar will inaugurate the first phase of the Patna Metro Rail Service today. 

The first phase of the approximately 3.6-kilometre-long elevated metro corridor has been named the Priority Corridor. In this phase, metro services will operate from the Inter-State Bus Terminal (ISBT) to Bhootnath Station. 

After a wait of six years, the first phase of the Patna Metro Rail Service is finally being inaugurated. The construction work for the metro rail project was launched by Prime Minister Narendra Modi in February



2019. 

Chief Minister Nitish Kumar will also travel on the route from the New Pataliputra Bus Terminal (ISBT) to Bhootnath Station. In addition, he will lay the foundation stone for the underground section of Corridor One.

 

 

Since the signalling system has not yet been completed, initially the metro service will be operated between three stations using walkie-talkies.  The metro rail services will be available from 8 am to 10 pm on this route.

The Urban Development and Housing Department and the Patna Metro Rail Corporation have completed all preparations.
