The most awaited and turning point of Hyderabad transport system i.e. Hyderabad Metro train has started officially on November 28th. The Prime Minister Narendra Modi officially launched the first phase of Hyderabad metro train at the Miyapur station. The services of Hyderabad metro train for general public were started from November 29th from 6 AM. The Hyderabad metro train received an overwhelming response as over 2 lakh people travelled on the first day. Apart from this there is still a short debate over factors like how long does it take to reach our destination in the Metro train? And how long does it take to reach the same destination if we travel in a bus? What would be the cost difference and also difference between times? In order to get answers for this debate a passenger named Ravi on Thursday travelled from Ameerpet to Nagole station on metro train and later he travelled back from Nagole to Ameerpet metro station by RTC Xpress bus. He experienced few minor differences and the convenience is also different for each transportation.
