Pune: Commuters’ wait for the extension of the currently operational Metro line is likely to be prolonged, as the one-year service period expires on March 6. Metro officials set new deadlines for route extension for an entire year, but as we approach the deadline, no substantial progress has been noticed.
Following the launch, it was expected that every three months, the Metro route would be extended, but this has not been the case, and passengers must still contend with the 12km route – Vanaz to Garware (6km) and PCMC to Phugewadi (6km) for unforeseen future.
The 31km route was initially expected to be completed by March 2023.
