Speaking to Pune Pulse, Dr Hemant Sonawane, Executive Director, Public Relations And Administration, Pune Metro said, “On August 15, an astounding 1 lakh 59 thousand Punekars rode in the 2 metro stations of Civil Court to Pimpri Chinchwad and from Vanaz to Ruby Hall Metro stations. 60% of the 1 lakh 59 thousand people i.e. 95,400 metro users travelled from Civil Court to Pimpri Chinchwad route while the rest 63,600 metro users travelled from Vanaz to Ruby Hall route. This was the highest ridership recorded since the launch of Pune Metro service last year.”
