Ameerpet-Hitec City to be busiest Metro line in Hyderabad

Hyderabad Metro Rail Limited already launched trial runs and is gearing up for inspection and clearance by the Commissioner of Metro Rail Safety (CMRS), is expected to ease traffic congestion in the busy areas of Yousufguda, Jubilee Hills, Madhapur and Hitec City.

"After the launch of the Metro services on the route, there are possibilities of private cars and cabs ferrying employees on the IT corridor going off the road. This is because many employees



will prefer to take the Metro rather than getting stuck in traffic,” a senior official from the Cyberabad Traffic Police said.

HMRL officials are expecting the route to witness heavy footfall like in the case of the Ameerpet-LB Nagar route. Recently, the overall Metro patronage crossed 30 million passengers cumulative milestone in 351 days (less than a year) and from 20 million to 30 million in just 71 days.
