New Delhi: In a significant development, the Pune Metro is on the verge of transitioning into a driverless marvel. Reports suggest that once commuters are acquainted with the system, the Metro will seamlessly shift into "auto mode," harnessing advanced technology for its operations.

The impending introduction of driverless technology within the Pune Metro is presently awaiting official approval. The primary objectives are to enhance efficiency and prioritize passenger safety. Once this cutting-edge technology is implemented, it promises to usher in a more sophisticated and secure commuting experience for all passengers on board.

Surveillance Network Bolstered with CCTV Cameras
