Pune Metro to have a special coach – Nari Shakti
PUNE METRO will soon run three-coach trains with one special ladies compartment – Nari Shakti.
“We have a special coach for ladies and two other general coaches. Each coach can accommodate 325 passengers which means that three coaches can accommodate 975 passengers, if we include both sitting and standing arrangements. The Metro will run from 7 am to 9 pm. Talking about frequency, a train will come to a station every half an hour,” said Hemant Sonawne, Public Relation Officer, Pune Metro.
When asked about fares, Sonawne told The Indian Express, “It will be within the range of Rs 10-20.”
Sonawne said cycle rental facility will also be launched at the Metro stations on Saturday. The coaches will have dedicated spaces for disabled passengers, he added.
