Its not only Ahmedabad-Gandhinagar that will be connected via the new metro rail. In the long run, the Gujarat government plans to have metro for Vadodara and Surat as well. The concept is to form a multi-modal transport grid that will ensure speedy as well as affordable commuting between major cities in the state. The government had previously announced the setting up of multi-modal affordable transport authority (MATA) which will design a transport grid involving tram way, high speed rail and bus.
However as per the present plans, the Ahmedabad-Gandhinagar metro will also have one Automatic People Mover System(APM) a driverless cab which will move commuters between specific destinations. A similar system is present at Hong Kong International Airport. The total length of the city metro after all its phases are complete, will be close to 120 kms. In the first phase, the state government has already declared a plan for 76 km. The declared route passes through parts of western and eastern Ahmedabad. This metro train system will be the fastest in the world with an average speed of close to 45 kms per hour.
As of now, a provision of Rs 500 crore has been made in the state budget 2012-13 while the funding of the project will be through a low cost debt and state equity.
