Patna’s first metro ran at a speed of 40, another step to come true near Sapna!:

News India Live, Digital Desk: The dream of Patna people traveling in their metro is now gaining momentum. Monday came another golden chapter in the history of Patna Metro, when the city’s first gleaming metro train ran at a speed of 40 km per hour on the depot line for the first time. This trial run was completely successful and it has brought a wave of happiness on the faces of Patna Metro Rail Corporation (PMRC) officials.

Where and how this trial happened?

This important trial run was conducted on the Test track and depot line of ISBT (Inter -State Bus Terminal) depot. The metro train successfully covered this distance on the instructions of the Operation Control Center (OCC) at the depot. During this trial, all the metro systems, such as braking, power supply, and its balance with the track were closely examined. Officials have described this trial as a major success, which is an important stop before the trial on the mainline.

Metro will soon be seen on the main line

These successful trials in the depot are expected that soon the people of Patna will be able to see the metro running in front of them, the main lines of the city. According to PMRC, the trial will be started on the mainline after all types of investigation is completed in the depot. The trial will be on elevated (above the ground) from Malahi Pakri to ISBT.

• First step: On the basis of priority, the work on the corridor with 5 stations from Malahi caught to ISBT is almost complete.
• Security first: Before the trial starts on the main line, the track and safety standards will be investigated by the Commissioner of Metro Rail Safety (CMRS). The metro will be started for passengers only after getting their green signal.

The metro is like a cold wind gust for people struggling with the jam on the roads of Patna. This successful trial is an indication that now the day is not far, when the people of Patna will also be able to leave the traffic worrying, sit in the AC metro and reach their destination comfortably and fast.
