Pune: Chanting ‘Ganpati Bappa Maurya’ and ‘Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj Ki Jai’, Punekars boarded their first Metro ride at 3:22 pm, minutes after Prime Minister Narendra Modi inaugurated the facility.
Many felt a jerk as the Metro started from Garware to Vanaz, the 5-km priority stretch.
“Hurrah! Metro finally arrived in Pune,” said Bibushan Chole, who is happy that he will not have to use PMPML now to travel between Vanaz and Garware.
“We need more metro routes for easy passage across the city. Then it will be useful for people,” said Chole.
