Historic change regarding passenger convenience
Patna Junction is now going to be developed as a modern transport hub, not just a railway station. With the joint initiative of Railways and State Government, major changes are being made in the connectivity and passenger facilities of the station.
In this context, a new underground subway and direct metro connection facility is being started here. With the implementation of this system, the time taken by passengers to reach and exit the station will be significantly reduced. This is expected to provide great relief to the passengers who have been troubled by traffic jams and crowd for a long time.
Easy movement between platforms via underground subway
With the construction of the new underground subway, movement between the platforms of Patna Junction will become much safer and more convenient than before. Commuters will no longer depend on congested foot overbridges.
The subway will be equipped with better lighting, CCTV cameras and modern design so that there is no inconvenience. There will also be provision of ramps and escalators for the elderly, disabled and children, which will make it easier to walk inside the station and the crowd pressure will be balanced.
Direct metro connection, complete freedom from traffic jams
The junction is being directly connected to the metro network under the Patna Metro project. Due to the facility of entry and exit from the metro station directly to the railway premises, passengers will not have to go through traffic jams on the road.
Reaching Patna Junction from different parts of the city will now be faster and easier. This connection will prove to be extremely useful for passengers, especially during morning and evening rush hours and will make the journey stress-free.
There will also be improvement in security, information and facilities
Along with new development works, the security arrangements of the station premises are also being strengthened. More number of CCTV cameras will be installed and digital information boards will be connected with modern technology.
Passengers will get real-time information related to train status, platforms and timings. The public announcement system is also being upgraded, so that passengers can get clear and timely information.
Economic activities and employment will get a boost
With Patna Junction becoming smart, business activities in the surrounding areas will increase. New commercial spaces will be developed in and around the station premises, providing employment opportunities to the local people.
By providing better facilities to the travelers and tourists coming from outside, the economic pace of the city will also get a boost. This will strengthen the identity of Patna as a modern and organized city.
Strong step towards smart city
Underground subway and metro connections will take Patna closer to the goal of being a smart city. This project has been prepared keeping in mind the future needs.
Fast, safe and traffic-free journey will become the new identity of Patna Junction. In the coming times, this change will not only improve the experience of passengers, but will also give a new direction to the transport infrastructure of the entire city.
