Patna Metro is scheduled to begin operations in 2025, marking a significant development in the city?s public transportation infrastructure. The much-anticipated metro project is expected to transform urban mobility and ease traffic congestion in the Bihar capital.

The metro network will feature several key routes designed to connect major areas of Patna efficiently.

The metro's development is a major step towards modernizing Patna's infrastructure and promoting sustainable urban transit. As the project progresses, detailed plans for stations, ticketing, and operational aspects will be finalized, with the goal of delivering a state-of-the-art metro system to the residents of Patna by 2025.
