Pimpri: Metro work is starting fast in Pimpri-Chinchwad city, although the parking facility is not visible near the planned metro stations. Parking should be planned according to the plan. Therefore, there will be no problem of parking when the metro starts. City President of BJP Transport Front, Deepak Modhave, has given a memorandum to the Chief Executive Officer of Pune Metro, Dr. Brijesh Dixit, demanding this.
It said that five metro stations are being built from Pimpri to Dapodi area. Presently there is no parking facility or open space available for the construction of these stations. Hence in future metro commuters will face inconvenience due to lack of parking. In view of this problem, adequate arrangement for parking should be made in the metro area. The metro system will benefit from faster and easier access from Pimpri to Pune. Metro stations are being set up in Pimpri-Chinchwad at Morwadi, Vallabhnagar, Kasarwadi, Fugewadi and Dapodi.

Metro work is expected to be completed by the end of December. Citizens have to come to Morwadi station to travel by metro.

Therefore, parking should be arranged immediately.
…then the income of the metro will increase
If a person lives at a distance of 5 km from the metro station and has to travel by metro to Pune then he has two options to come from home to the metro station. First he reached the station by rickshaw and second came to the station by his vehicle. Where will the vehicle park if it comes by vehicle? This is a big problem. Rickshaw will charge fare as well as waste time. The same passenger will have to go through the same trouble again on his return to Pimpri from Pune. If the parking facility is provided in the premises of the stations, then the metro company can earn separately from the parked vehicles.
