The system will run on a five-kilometre elevated corridor linking major administrative buildings such as Visvesvaraya Bhavan, Vikas Bhavan, the Bihar Legislative Assembly, and the Old Secretariat complex. The project is expected to cost around ₹296 crore and may be completed within about 15 months after final approvals.

Passengers will travel in small capsule-style pods based on Personal Rapid Transit technology. Each pod can carry up to six people and move directly to the selected station without unnecessary stops.

Around 59 pods will operate across nine stations. A new pod may arrive every few seconds, helping thousands of passengers move quickly between offices. Officials believe the system will reduce congestion, cut pollution, and modernize transport in Patna.

Officials said the metro authority plans to purchase eight to ten new train sets. These trains will run on the extended corridor once construction work moves ahead. The new stretch will connect important areas and strengthen urban transport in Patna.

Authorities have already completed tunnel work on key sections of the route. Track laying and station development work continue at a fast pace. The Malahi Pakri station will be developed during this second phase.

Until the new coaches arrive, officials may use rented train sets to begin limited operations on completed sections. This step will help start services earlier and benefit passengers.
