Patna is on the verge of a landmark development in its urban transport journey as the Patna Metro project edges closer to reality. Officials have confirmed that trial runs on the priority corridor were successfully completed, clearing the path for the metro’s formal launch later this month.
The priority corridor, a vital component of the first phase of the Patna Metro network, has been designed to significantly reduce traffic congestion and provide fast, reliable, and affordable public transport for daily commuters.
During the trial runs, metro trains were thoroughly tested for:
- Safety systems
- Track performance
- Signaling technology
- Passenger facilities
Authorities confirmed that all systems performed as expected and met operational standards.
The upcoming inauguration will be a major milestone for Bihar’s public transport infrastructure, offering quicker travel across key city routes and reducing dependency on road traffic. In addition, the metro will play a crucial role in promoting sustainable, eco-friendly mobility solutions for the region.
Once the Patna Metro priority corridor becomes operational, services will gradually expand to cover other under-construction stretches. Eventually, the network will connect major hubs across the city, benefiting thousands of passengers daily and reshaping urban mobility in Bihar.
