Hyderabad Metro Rail student ‘super saver pass’ announced by L&T Metro Rail Hyderabad (L&TMRH) is not a simple, straightforward, subsidised metro ticket but a pretty convoluted one with penalties for both “overusing” and “underutilising” the ‘special offer’.
Guidelines for the ‘limited edition’ offer available from July 1 to March 31 show that the cost of the (card is ₹100 (non-refundable) after which the student can load the trips as per requirement. The trip pass will be valid for 30 days from the date of purchase for those born after April 1, 1998. Yet, it is not just ‘buy for 20 trips and get 30 trips’ package, as it appears.
If any student is “under travelling”, one trip will be deducted from the trip balance! For instance, if the smart card has been loaded with ₹45 trip pass, there are 15 trips available on the date of travel. If you have under travelled for ₹35, one trip will be deducted from the available trips and the trip balance left will be 14 trips.
