After launching its Metro rail service on a limited route earlier this year, Pune Metro is set to expand following successful trial runs from Garware College to Deccan Gymkhana and Phugewadi to Dapodi on Monday, officials said.

“Pune Metro rail has successfully conducted the first trial run on August 15 for the extended route from Phugewadi to Dapodi on Reach 1 and from Garware college to Deccan Gymkhana on Reach 2,” said Hemant Sonawane, public relations officer of Pune Metro.

He said the routes will be made operational in the coming months after more trials. “The successful trial run on these routes have paved the way for extending the service till Shivajinagar on Reach 1 and Civil Court on Reach 2,” Sonawane added.
