Hyderabad: Deputy Chief Minister Bhatti Vikramarka will unveil the Metro RTC joint pass at Praja Bhavan on Friday and launch the ‘Mee Ticket’ app for city bus commuters. RTC and Metro are jointly introducing the pass to give commuters in the CURE region convenient and seamless public transport connectivity.

The joint pass will be available in daily and monthly options. The daily pass has been priced at Rs 400, made up of Rs 300 for Metro and Rs 100 for RTC, while the monthly pass has been fixed at Rs 8,500, comprising a Metro fare of Rs 7,000 and an RTC fare of Rs 1,500.

Commuters will pay Rs 100 for the card at the time of their first purchase, and the amount will be refunded when the card is returned. A single pass will allow travel on Metro trains and on all types of RTC city buses operating within the ORR, except Pushpak services.

Mee Ticket app brings Rs 600 weekly bus pass

The minister will also launch an open ticketing system through the Mee Ticket app on Friday, aimed at sparing city bus passengers the trouble of loose change and tickets.
