Hyderabad Metro Rail Fares Reduced

After the backlash stemming from the fare hike earlier this month, the Hyderabad Metro Rail authorities had announced that the fares would go down by 10% from May 24, ensuring greater affordability for commuters. The revised fare structure was announced today.

Under the new fare structure, the minimum fare is Rs 11 and the maximum fare is Rs 69:

- For commutes of up to 2 km, the fare has been reduced from Rs 12 to Rs 11
- For 2 to 3 km, from Rs 18 to Rs 17
- For 4 to 6 km, from Rs 30 to Rs 28
- For 6 to 9 km, from Rs 40 to Rs 37
- For 9 to 12 km, from Rs 50 to Rs 47
- For 12 to 15 km, from Rs 55 to Rs 51
- For 15 to 18 km, from Rs 60 to Rs 56
- For 18 to 21 km, from Rs 66 to Rs 61
- For 21 to 24 km, from Rs 70 to Rs 65
- For travel beyond 24 km, from Rs 75 to Rs 69

With the monsoons approaching more people are likely to choose the Metro for a safe, comfortable and weatherproof mode of transport, and these fare reductions are expected to benefit them.
