Maha Metro is now seeking help from the State to access feeder services
Officials at the MahaMetro are concerned about the number of passengers in the regular subway who continue to run on the specific routes. We believe that the lack of feeder services continually hinders the number of riders who keep them away from taking up the metro trips. We say we want to introduce the feeder facilities, but face too many obstacles in their way to keep them from doing the same.
The official speaking of the same claimed they had prepared a detailed report on the same and submitted the same to the state to seek their intervention to get the same thing. They said the parking space had to be taken from others and the Maha Metro was unable to allocate it on its own. All they can do is provide parking at their place for 3 to 4 rickshaws but when they get down to the station they would need more to bring the commuters.
They said we need at least 15 to 20 rickshaws to take the people to their preferred locations so only one could see the increase in the number of daily commuters. Citizens may enter the maha metro station by themselves with their vehicles but they would need an auto-rickshaw or a bus that comes under the feeder services to reach their destination. With the absence of the same, getting a greater number of commuters for the same would be rather difficult. Now, they have asked to allocate these services to the state.
