Hyderabad: Hyderabad Metro frequency increased across corridors to ease commuter inconvenience during the ongoing RTC strike, with authorities deciding to run maximum services.
Officials said Hyderabad Metro Rail, in consultation with L&T Metro Rail Hyderabad, enhanced operations to support public transport demand. The move aims to reduce difficulties faced by passengers due to the strike.
Hyderabad Metro frequency increased with 56 trains all day
Under the revised plan, 56 trains will operate throughout the day during both peak and non-peak hours. Earlier, the same number of trains ran only during peak hours, while non-peak operations used fewer trains.
On normal weekdays, trains operate at intervals of 3 minutes 40 seconds during peak hours. However, services run at lower frequency during non-peak hours with fewer trains in operation.
Now, authorities will maintain a 4 minutes 20 seconds interval on the Miyapur–LB Nagar corridor. On the Nagole–Raidurg corridor, trains will run every 3 minutes 40 seconds.
Meanwhile, officials are also examining the possibility of extending metro services beyond 11 pm. This step is under consideration to further reduce inconvenience to commuters during the strike.
