In a move to bolster intermodal connectivity, Mahametro has announced plans to construct an MSRTC (Maharashtra State Road Transport Corporation) Depot at Shivajinagar Metro Station. Atul Gadgil, Director (Works), highlighted the significance of this initiative, emphasising its potential to streamline and improve the overall public transportation experience in Pune.
The construction of the MSRTC Depot aligns with the broader vision of creating a seamlessly connected transportation network in the city. By integrating metro and bus services, commuters can expect enhanced convenience and efficiency in their daily travels. This collaborative effort between Mahametro and MSRTC reflects a strategic approach to meet the growing demands of Pune's dynamic urban landscape.
Atul Gadgil further emphasised the importance of meticulous planning and layout to ensure the success of this intermodal integration. The development is anticipated to not only improve the accessibility of Shivajinagar Metro Station but also contribute to reducing congestion and promoting sustainable transportation practices in Pune.
As Mahametro takes on the responsibility of constructing the MSRTC Depot, this initiative is poised to set a precedent for effective collaboration between different modes of public transportation, ultimately benefiting the residents of Pune and enhancing the city's overall mobility infrastructure.
