Divisional Commissioner Vijay Vishwas Pant has emphasized the need for improved connectivity between Metro stations and city transport services in Lucknow, Uttar Pradesh, India, due to increasing traffic congestion. During a review meeting, he instructed officials to conduct a comprehensive survey of feeder bus services and parking arrangements around major Metro stations. The goal is to develop an action plan that enhances public transport accessibility and efficiency. Pant highlighted the importance of reducing dependence on private vehicles and maximizing public transport usage. He directed the systematic development of parking areas and bus stops, prioritizing locations facing overcrowding and traffic issues. The managing director of UP Metro Rail Corporation, Sushil Kumar, underscored the necessity of strengthening last-mile connectivity and providing secure parking for commuters. The Lucknow Municipal Corporation has initiated the tender process for developing parking facilities, expected to be operational by June 15. Pant also called for public awareness campaigns through digital displays, FM radio, and social media to promote the benefits of public transport. Additionally, shuttle bus services will be launched to connect major transit hubs with Metro stations, and surveys will identify potential regular Metro users among government employees and students.
