What has happened so far:–
Tenders worth Rs 278 crore have been received for Bhopal Metro. Soil testing and design testing are done. Pile testing has also been successful for a load capacity in the ground. Pile testing was done at three locations below-ground. The technical background work of the metro has been completed.
Speed: 80 km per hour – the speed limit will be up to 90 km / h on the metra rail track. However, the Metro train will run at a maximum speed of 80 km / h.Â
Fare: Not yet fixed for metro – The fare of Jaipur Metro is five to 15 rupees. However, the fare of Bhopal Metro is yet to be decided.
When will it run – the target of running the Bhopal Metro is 2023. However, the Chief Minister has asked to complete the work before the scheduled time.
The big question: will the traffic bottleneck be less? –  The population of Bhopal is around 25 lakh, while the number of vehicles in the city is 18 lakh 47 thousand. Such traffic pressure is high. Nearly two lakh vehicles pass through the peak hours of the morning and evening on this route, thus the introduction of Metra rail on this route will reduce the traffic load.
Today the traffic plan will change – will be applicable from 9 am to 1 pm. During this time, there will be traffic divert from Gurudev Gupta intersection towards Government Press and in front of Reserve Bank of India headquarters towards MP Nagar, Arera Hills, Ministry etc.
Congress did not do everything… I have never lived in the narrowness of the battle for credit. All the formalities of Bhopal and Indore metro were completed by the BJP government, only the foundation stone was left. Congress should lay its foundation stone, but do not say that they have done it in 9 months. – Shivraj Singh Chauhan, former Chief Minister
