As Pune Metro conducted a successful trial run from Garware College to Civil Court station on Friday, Managing Director of Maha Metro Brijesh Dixit said it was an “important milestone”, adding that the entire route will be opened for public after the route between Phugewadi and Civil Court stations is tested in few months.
In the trial run, the metro train left the Garware college station at 2.30 pm. After crossing Deccan, Chhatrapati Sambhaji Udyan and Pune Municipal Corporation Station (PMC) stations, it reached the Civil Court metro station at 3.10 pm. This trial run route extended for 2.74 km.
Civil Court metro station is the interchange station where both the lines of Pune metro meet.
