Welcome to Patna Metro (unofficial). This platform is a privately run, independent informational portal dedicated to compiling, structuring, and sharing transport infrastructure news and guides regarding the Patna Metro project in Bihar, India.

Vikash — Project Founder & Lead Developer
Vikash is a software developer and public infrastructure enthusiast from Bihar. He enjoys building responsive web tools, self-hosting applications, and studying mass transit planning. Driven by the massive traffic struggles in Patna, he created this platform to offer everyday commuters a clean, fast, and easy-to-use route planner, station guide, and project tracker.
Our Mission
The goals of this project are simple:
- Improve Urban Mobility: Provide a fast, client-side route planner and fare calculator that loads instantly and works offline or on weak networks.
- Keep Residents Informed: Share detailed, verified updates on station construction, corridor openings, and transit schedules.
- Maintain Data Transparency: Explicitly state the unofficial nature of the website while ensuring all transit calculations align with official PMRCL/DMRC guidelines.
Editorial Policy & Standards
We believe in publishing only helpful, accurate, and original content. Every piece of news and informational guide on this site goes through a strict verification process:
- Official Cross-Referencing: We monitor press releases, tenders, and official progress reports published by the Patna Metro Rail Corporation Limited (PMRCL) and the Delhi Metro Rail Corporation (DMRC).
- Verified Media Outlets: When reporting ongoing updates, we cross-reference claims against trusted local news agencies (such as Dainik Bhaskar, Prabhat Khabar, Hindustan, Times of India, and News18 Bihar).
- No Clickbait or Speculation: We refrain from publishing unverified opening dates or speculative route variations. If an opening date is tentative or based on a minister's statement, we explicitly label it as such.
- Direct Citation: We strive to cite official statements and list external references to the primary reports where possible, helping our readers verify the information.
Correction & Feedback Policy
Transit developments happen rapidly, and despite our best efforts, details like ticket rates, first/last train timings, and parking zones can change. If you spot an error in our station databases or news pages, please contact us immediately via our Contact Page. We commit to correcting verified errors within 48 hours and updating our records.
