Hyderabad Metro

The cities in India are growing like never before and with the expanse of every city connectivity to the different corners becomes the top-notch concern of the administration. If the city lacks the basic infrastructure, the big companies are reluctant to open their offices, and because of this, the young population of the city drains to the cities that are well connected and infrastructurally advanced. With the coming of METRO in Hyderabad, life has not been the same. The comfort, ease and convenience have doubled up, and the same now gets reflected in the quality of life of the people in the city.

Hyderabad Metro: The game-changer for the residents of the city

Second only to Delhi Metro, Hyderabad Metro covers 57stations and this project was first conceived in the year 2003 by the then CM of Andhra Pradesh Shri N. Chandrababu Naidu. To cater to the rising needs of the people of Hyderabad and Secunderabad, MMTS (Multi-Modal Transport System) was launched in August 2003. However, after much analysis and investigation on the topography, soil etc, L&T developed Hyderabad Metro Rail Project and it was on 28th November 2017 that the 30 km stretch from Miyapur to Nagole was inaugurated by the Honorable PM Shri Narendra Modi.

Ameerpeet to LB Nagar is a 16 km stretch and with these two stations mapped on the Metro route, the Phase 1 Corridor stands complete. The total stretch of 29 kms in Corridor 1 connects Miyapur to LB Nagar which links the northwestern to southeastern parts of Hyderabad. There are 17 stations mapped on the route and places like Lakdi ka Pul, Assembly, Mahatama Gandhi Bus Station, Malakpet, Dilsukhnagar and Nampally, which were inaccessible; otherwise can now be reached easily without any ordeal. This stretch was inaugurated by Governor of Andhra Pradesh, Telangana ESL Narasimhan, Telangana Municipal Administration Minister KT Rama Roa and other officials.

What makes Hyderabad Metro unique?

• Inter-modal connectivity connects different modes like MMTS, bus stations, and rail terminals and brings oodles of convenience to those who have to hop on different modes. The last mile connectivity is a distinguishing feature of the Hyderabad Metro Project.
• Convenient signage, skywalks, commuter-friendly services like ramps for disabled and physically handicapped, automatic ticket vending machines, automated fare-collections system are some of the peculiar features of the Hyderabad Metro Project.
• The various stations have been so designed that each depicts the rich culture and heritage of the city.
• The minimum fare is Rs 10, while Rs 60 is the upper cap.

Fast and furious connectivity is something that the commuters want so that they can beat the traffic of the city and avoid unnecessary hassle on the road. Hyderabad Metro Project is for the ease of daily commuters who otherwise had to spend long hours on roads and wait for the green signals.
