In short: Patna Metro carries passengers on four elevated stations of Corridor-2: Patliputra Bus Terminal, Zero Mile, Bhootnath and Malahi Pakri. The state government has asked for the whole project to be finished by 2028, which is a target and not an opening date.
What opened and when
The first section was inaugurated in October 2025. The extension to Malahi Pakri was inaugurated on 2 July 2026 and passengers began riding the same day, according to NewKerala. The open stretch is about 6.2 km and a ride from the bus terminal to Malahi Pakri takes about 15 minutes, per the same report. Khemni Chak, the next stop, is built, but trains did not stop there at that time. We found no confirmation that it has opened since.
Fares and trips, as reported
News reports give fares of Rs 15 up to 3 km and Rs 30 for 3 to 6 km. The same 2 July report says daily trips were cut from 24 to 22 after the extension, with a full round trip of about 35 minutes. These are news figures. PMRCL's official fare chart and timetable were not available to us, and its website had an expired security certificate on 12 November 2026, so the Patna guide states no first or last train.
The 2028 target
After a review on 11 October 2026, Patna Press reported that the Chief Minister set a 2028 deadline and planned two foot overbridges on Nehru Path. Other sources give 2027, 2028 or 2030, so we use 2028 only as the stated target.
What is still to come
The rest of Corridor-2, including underground stations towards Patna Junction, and all of Corridor-1 (East-West) are under construction. No interchange is operating yet.
The Patna guide keeps station pages and fare notes with their sources.
