Hyderabad Metro could revise timings to start from 6 am

The Hyderabad Metro might soon revise its timings and start operations from 6 am.

This is after Municipal Administration and Urban Development Minister KT Rama Rao asked Hyderabad Metro Rail Limited managing director NVS Reddy and L&T Hyderabad Metro Rail to consider a request that came from a Metro user.

The user, Abhinav Sudarsi, tweeted a series of photographs and videos to the Minister, pointing out that people reached the Metro stations by 6 am and since Metro trains begin services at 7 am, have to wait for one hour. Trying to reach office any



sooner by taking cabs was a costly option since cabs charged more in the early hours, he pointed out, adding that senior citizens too were facing difficulties in the morning crowd.

Responding to his request that Metro timings be revised to begin from 6 am, the minister said he agreed with the suggestion and asked the HMRL MD and L&T to coordinate and ensure the same.

HMRL MD NVS Reddy replied to the Minister in the affirmative. An official communication on the revised timings is expected soon.
