The proposal was discussed at a meeting of the Cyberabad Municipal Corporation (CMC) chaired by Special Chief Secretary Jayesh Ranjan, where officials outlined an end‑to‑end assessment of the corridor that will focus on pedestrian movement, public‑transport links and safe access to Metro stations.
Survey teams will map gaps in footpath connectivity, identify encroachments and pinpoint unsafe pedestrian crossings along the 8.5‑km route, with the goal of delivering continuous and safer walking routes for commuters.
The study will also evaluate auto‑rickshaw and feeder‑service integration, recommending dedicated pick‑up and drop‑off bays and designated feeder auto stands at Metro stations and major junctions to improve last‑mile connectivity.
Traffic congestion points and accident‑prone locations will be examined, alongside a review of signage, barricading and traffic‑regulation requirements to streamline vehicle flow and reduce crash risk.
A separate component will address school‑related traffic, assessing the movement of school buses, vans and parent‑driven vehicles during peak hours, and exploring the creation of off‑carriageway pick‑up/drop‑off zones and possible car‑pooling schemes for students.
Officials will also look at integrating walking and cycling facilities with the feeder network, linking schools, offices, residential areas and commercial hubs to the Metro system.
The mobility assessment highlighted a sharp rise in private‑mode trips in Hyderabad, noting that between 2011 and 2024 the city added roughly 6.4 million daily trips, of which about 6.2 million were attributed to two‑wheelers, private cars, autos and taxis, and that 63 % of GPS‑recorded trips were under 5 km.
The study’s findings are expected to inform infrastructure upgrades and policy measures that strengthen the feeder network and improve overall accessibility to the Metro corridor.
