Nagpur: In a major relief for over 50,000 people working in Mihan, MahaMetro has started an on-call feeder service between Khapri metro station and the industrial estate. The service will be operational from today.
On Wednesday, MahaMetro managing director Brijesh Dixit along with other senior officials inaugurated the service. The feeder service has been started to ensure end-to-end connectivity for employees of various companies and residents living in the vicinity.
According to officials, a cab and a bus will be available daily between 8am and 8pm. “Charges will depend on the distance that will be covered. Facilities like monthly subscription and passes will also be available. The feeder service will just be a call away. It will ensure that employees are dropped and picked up from their respective offices,” said officials.
MahaMetro is hopeful that the connectivity will help thousands of employees working in the All India Institute of Medical Science (AIIMS), IT companies, Lupin, Tech Mahindra and other companies. “Many residential townships are also coming up and this service will prove to be beneficial to residents too,” officials added.
MahaMetro has procured feeder vehicles from a private contractor. Under a similar feeder service, an electric bus is operating between the Nagpur airport and airport metro station. MahaMetro plans to increase the number of vehicles in the coming days.
