Hyderabad Metro Fares Higher Than Delhi, Passengers Face Burden

• Hyderabad Metro fares are criticized for being higher than Delhi Metro, despite Delhi having a more extensive network.
• Delhi Metro's minimum fare is Rs. 11 and maximum is Rs. 64, while Hyderabad's discounted fares are Rs. 11 (min) and Rs. 69 (max).
• Other cities like Chennai (max Rs. 50) and Kolkata (max less than Rs. 30) have lower maximum fares.
• Increased fares in Hyderabad led to a decrease in daily passenger numbers, with approximately 16,000 passengers opting for other transport modes.
• Experts suggest government takeover of Hyderabad Metro could lead to fare reductions, similar to Delhi Metro.
