Overview
- The state launched the integrated Metro–RTC common pass and the MeeTicket mobile app on Friday, October 2, 2026, to let one card or QR handle travel on Hyderabad Metro and eligible TGSRTC city buses.
- The common pass is sold as a one‑day ticket for ₹400 and a 30‑day monthly card for ₹8,500, with a refundable ₹100 card deposit collected at issue.
- Pass validity is limited to city bus services operating inside the Outer Ring Road/Core Urban Region and Hyderabad Metro routes and explicitly excludes Pushpak airport shuttle services.
- Commuters and social media users gave mixed reactions on launch day, with many critics saying the ₹8,500 monthly price looks unaffordable or uneconomical for typical users while others welcomed easier transfers.
- Officials call the rollout a pilot and plan ministerial demonstrations on October 3, 2026, and link the scheme to wider transport investments including a ₹52,000 crore package and a proposed 122 km Metro Phase II.
