The BRS Government is planning to start train services inside Telangana by linking all the districts. This intra-services train will enable people to travel in Telangana by train and most of the distances will be covered in one to two hours.
This will reduce time and traffic snarls for the commuters.
This kind of service, when made available, will ensure that Karimnagar can be reached from Hyderabad in just 1.25 hours instead of the present road travel duration of 3.30 hours.
Along with the existing 69 km of three Metro corridors and the Airport Metro Corridor of 31 km under implementation, Metro Rail expansion has been sanctioned to different parts of Hyderabad and along the ORR for a total coverage of 415 km at an estimated cost of around 70000 crore.
Nine TRT Corridors are envisaged from the new Metro nodal points on the ORR / outskirts to cover almost all parts of the state.
These TRT Corridors will be at road-level rail lines but with advanced RRTS technology. Estimated to cost between Rs.70 crore to Rs 75 crore per km, these corridors can cover a length of about 792 km with a funding of about Rs.55,400 crore.
