The Telangana government has significantly reduced the costs of the Hyderabad Metro-RTC common mobility card, slashing the monthly pass fee by over half and the daily pass fee by 31%, according to wire material. The earlier monthly pass price of ₹8,500 has been reduced to ₹4,000, while the daily pass price of ₹400 has been decreased to ₹275.

The Transport Minister announced the new prices, effective from November 8, 2026. The revised fees allow for a maximum of 50 round trips in a month for the monthly pass and four single journeys in a day for the daily pass. The minister stated the reduction aims to lower travel costs and make public transport more accessible, describing it as a "gift" for the festive season of Deepavali.
