Yerwada is the elevated eastern terminal metro station on the East - West corridor of the Aqua Line of Pune Metro in Pune, India. It is connected to Rainbow Bus Rapid Transit System.[1] The station was opened on 6 March 2024 as an extension of Pune Metro Phase I.[2][1] Aqua Line operates between Vanaz and Ramwadi stations.[3][4][5] Though this stretch was inaugurated on March 6, 2024, pending works have forced this station to be exempted for commercial operations for more than a month, unlike the other three stations opened in this stretch inaugurated along with this station.[6][7]
