The ambitious Metro rail is all set for its 20 km run from the first week of June. The officials are toiling day and night to meet the deadline. But, there are problems galore that are threatening to hit its operations.
The ambitious Metro rail does not have parking lots. The railway stations have no place to park vehicles and there are no government lands nearby. Buying private lands for parking places is out of question given the sky-rocketing land prices. The trains cannot get passengers if there is no parking facility. Hundreds of commuters cannot just park their vehicles on the road and get into the Metro train.
Worried Metro officials are now trying to seek the guidance of experts from the field of transport. Out of 63 metro railway station, parking places have been identified in just 30 stations. In corridor 1, parking lots are not identified for ESI, Assembly, Gandhi bhavan and Koti.
In the corridor No 3 between Nagole and Hytech City, parking lots are yet to identified for Tarnaka, Prakash Nagar and Peddamma Temple stations. The officials are also planning to study the parking system adopted by the Metro Rail authorities in Pune city.
