In order to improve convenience and accessibility for metro commuters, Pune Metro has opened new entry and exit gates at five metro stations namely, PMC, Chhatrapati Sambhaji Udyan, Deccan Gymkhana, Bopodi, and Kalyani Nagar metro stations. These newly opened gates will reduce time and enhance mobility for the passengers.
More Details:
With the newly opened entry/exit gates, Pune Metro under Maha Metro Rail Corporation Limited (MMRCL) aims to provide improved accessibility and enhanced commuter experience. These entry and exit points will distribute passenger flow more evenly, reducing congestion at existing gates, especially during peak travel times. Passengers will now have easier access to nearby landmarks and business districts, enhancing overall connectivity and making metro travel a more attractive option.
Benefits:
- By minimising the distance passengers need to travel within stations, Pune Metro is dedicated to enhancing convenience and streamlining the time required for entry and exit procedures.
- To reach the landmark in the direction of the newly opened entry/exit gates, passengers currently need to disembark at the existing entry/exit, cross the road, and proceed towards the desired location.
MD Stated:
On this occasion, Managing Director of Maha Metro, Shri Shravan Hardikar said, “The opening of these gates marks a significant step forward in Pune Metro’s efforts to provide world-class metro services that prioritise passenger comfort and efficiency. Commuters are encouraged to familiarise themselves with these new entry and exit points to optimise their metro experience and encourage more people to choose Pune Metro.”
Brief Details about Direction for Newly Opened Gates:
The newly opened gates are strategically located to facilitate smoother passenger flow, ensure passenger safety and ease congestion during peak hours. Here are the details of the stations and the directions they cater to:
- At the PMC Metro Station the Entry / Exit Gates no. 2 & 3 are near the river side therefore passengers are not required to the road to climb the metro foot over the bridge.
- The Chhatrapati Sambhaji Udyan Metro Station the Entry / Exit Gates no. 2 & 3 is on the opposite side of JM Road.
- The Deccan Gymkhana Metro Station the Entry / Exit Gates no.2 & 3 is opposite JM road.
- All these metro entries/exits will help commuters climb foot over the bridge without crossing the busy JM road.
- The Bopodi Metro Station the Entry / Exit Gate no. 4 and the Kalyani Nagar Metro Station the Entry / Exit Gate no.3 will also help commuters to climb foot over the bridge without crossing the busy road.
- All these entry/exits will greatly help commuters to reach metro stations safely and smoothly.
