Patna Metro Fares and Timings: Reported vs Coming Soon
Short answer: News reports say a ticket costs Rs 15 for 0 to 3 km and Rs 30 for 3 to 6 km, and that about 22 trips run each day with a train roughly every 35 minutes. The first and last train times, an official fare chart and a smart card price are not available right now, coming soon.
We publish a time or a fare only when it has a named source. For Patna that leaves a few news reports and some official facts, and this page keeps the two apart.
How much is a Patna Metro ticket?
| Distance | Fare (reported) | Route named in reports |
|---|---|---|
| 0 to 3 km | Rs 15 | Bhoothnath to Patliputra Bus Terminal |
| 3 to 6 km | Rs 30 | Patliputra Bus Terminal to Malahi Pakri |
These slabs were reported by Patna Press on 12 May 2026, and NewKerala (2 July 2026) repeats Rs 30 to Malahi Pakri. On the four open stations the fare therefore ranges from Rs 15 to Rs 30. Our planner shows up to two stops as Rs 15 and three stops as Rs 30, and other pairs are marked approximate because no report names them. Some unofficial websites quote other fares, such as Rs 10 to Rs 60. We do not use them because they could not be traced to PMRCL.
What are the Patna Metro timings?
There is no published timetable yet, so it is coming soon. The official website's security certificate had expired when we checked on 12 November 2026, so we could not open its pages safely. That is why this site shows no first train, last train or station-wise times for Patna.
What NewKerala reported on 2 July 2026, after the Malahi Pakri section opened:
- Trips per day were cut from 24 to 22.
- A full round trip takes about 35 minutes, so a train comes roughly every 35 minutes.
- The ride between Patliputra Bus Terminal (ISBT) and Malahi Pakri takes about 15 minutes.
Some unofficial sites show service from early morning to late night. They disagree with each other and do not fit 22 trips a day, so please do not plan a first or last journey by them.
How do I plan a trip today?
- Pick your stations on the journey planner. Only the four open stations can be used.
- Treat the fare as approximate and keep a little extra cash or balance.
- Allow for a wait of about half an hour, as reported, and ask at the station for the actual time.
- For help, call the PMRCL helpline, 155370.
Good to know before you travel
PMRCL lists an Automatic Fare Collection system with smart cards and computerized paper tickets. Buy only from PMRCL's own counters or machines, because the official rules warn against unauthorized vendors. See also the fares page, the timings page and the stations guide.
What is not confirmed yet
- First and last train times, and weekday, Sunday and holiday differences.
- Station-wise timings and the official fare chart.
- The smart card price, minimum balance, and any discount for students, senior citizens, children or groups.
- Whether a QR ticket, mobile app or UPI payment exists. An official app is coming soon.
We will update this page when PMRCL publishes a timetable or a fare chart.
