A new era in public transportation has begun in Hyderabad with the launch of the
Metro–RTC Common Pass. The initiative was formally inaugurated by
Deputy Chief Minister Sri Mallu Bhatti Vikramarka at
Mahatma Jyotirao Phule Praja Bhavan.
Speaking at the event, the Deputy Chief Minister said that the common pass will make
daily and monthly travel across Hyderabad Metro Rail and TGSRTC buses more accessible
and convenient for citizens within the core urban areas.
He also emphasized the Government’s commitment to expanding Metro services and ensuring
that public transportation remains affordable and inclusive for all sections of society.
Common Pass to Improve City Travel
Transport and BC Welfare Minister Sri Ponnam Prabhakar stated that the
introduction of the common pass is part of the Government’s broader efforts to reduce
traffic congestion and bring public transport closer to the people.
He announced that the passes will be available at Metro stations with the following pricing:
- Daily Common Pass: ₹400
- Monthly Common Pass: ₹8,500
As part of the initiative, ministers will travel using the newly launched common pass on
both Hyderabad Metro Rail and TGSRTC buses to demonstrate its convenience and usability.
Passes Distributed to City Commuters
