The Bihar government announced a water metro service on the Ganga in Patna, offering rides for just Rs 50.
Patna is set to gain a new mode of public transport as the state government unveiled plans for a water metro operating on the Ganga River. The service will charge a flat fare of Rs 50 per trip, making river travel affordable for daily commuters and tourists alike.
The water metro is expected to complement existing road and rail networks, reducing congestion and providing a scenic alternative for moving across the city.
Officials said the launch will be phased, with initial routes covering key points along the riverbank, though exact stations are yet to be disclosed.
The initiative aligns with broader efforts to modernise urban mobility in Bihar’s capital and promote sustainable transport solutions.
