Pune : The Pune Metro will soon fine passengers who do not start their journey within 20 minutes from the station they have entered. Overstaying beyond this period will attract a fine of Rs 10 per hour, capped at a maximum of Rs 50.
As per further information from the X handle of Pune Metro, “Embrace the journey on Pune Metro by following the basic instructions for a delightful experience! After purchase of metro tickets, passengers must start their journey within 20 minutes from the originating station, otherwise an overstay penalty will be levied which could range from Rs 10 to Rs 50.”
To this, netizens have commented about some other issues they face related to Pune Metro.
An X user tweets, ‘Can use metro only if first or last mile connectivity is provided. No secure parking is available at boarding points. No initiative was taken for feeder buses to boarding points. Electric feeder buses may be ideal.’
Another X user tweeted, ‘1 experience to share: for travelling from PMC to Vanaz, while booking tickets from mobile, the 1st station name came was PCMC & hurriedly booked tickets which could not be used at PMC station. The suggestion is that while booking tickets, the app should pick up my location and suggest accordingly.’
