Extending the Metro services to Swargate is crucial as it will link all major public transport hubs in the city, such as MSRTC bus terminuses, railway stations, and PMPML bus terminuses, through the Metro. If the Metro services are operational till Swargate before Ganeshotsav, it will benefit many pandal hoppers as well. Ganeshotsav usually ends around mid-September, and the Pune Municipal Corporation (PMC) expects the announcement of the state assembly elections shortly after that.
Extending the Metro services to Swargate before the election code is enforced would be incredibly advantageous for the commuters. The Kasba Peth underground Metro station is situated close to Sattoti police chowky, benefiting residents in areas like Somwar Peth, Kamala Nehru hospital area, and Shaniwarwada. Similarly, the Mandai station is positioned beneath the historic Mandai building structure, while the Swargate station is aligned with Jedhe chowk.
