FOR AMRUTA Ghodke, travelling from Garware to the cafe in Anand Nagar Kothrud where she works was a gruelling process every morning—to be repeated in the opposite direction in the evening. She is one of the regulars on the Metro now.
“Metro has cut my commute time down to 10 minutes from 30 minutes earlier. Earlier, I used to travel by my vehicle. It was time consuming as well as tiring. Now, I don’t have to bother about traffic signals or pollution and am able to put the extra time in my business. I also have more energy to spend with my family,” she says.
