CMRS Inspection
The line is yet to be inspected by the Commissioner of Metro Rail Safety (CMRS) to certify it is in compliance with the safety guidelines to be followed by a metro line.
Last Mile Connectivity
There is still a need for last-mile connectivity from the last metro station, as it is difficult to find cabs or autos to reach the desired locations from the metro station.
Trial Runs
The trial for the Pune metro route, spanning from Ruby Clinic to Ramwadi, occurred on Friday at 7:30 P.M. The trial involved a round trip from Ruby Hall Clinic to Ramwadi, and the entire journey took one hour to complete. The objective was to assess all the components related to metro operations.
