Pune Metro?s Vanaz to Ramwadi corridor is now fully operational with the inauguration of Yerwada Metro Station on August 21. This station, the final piece of Line 2, will be open for commercial service daily from 6 am to 10 pm. While the Metro service had been running on the route, Yerwada station is the last to be opened.
