Hyderabad: The Hyderabad Metro might soon revise its timings and start operations from 6 am.

This is after Municipal Administration and Urban Development Minister KT Rama Rao asked Hyderabad Metro Rail Limited managing director NVS Reddy and L&T Hyderabad Metro Rail to consider a request that came from a Metro user.

The user, Abhinav Sudarsi, tweeted a series of photographs and videos to the Minister, pointing out that people reached the Metro stations by 6 am and since Metro trains begin services at 7 am, have to wait for one hour. Trying to reach office any sooner by taking cabs was a costly option since cabs charged more in the early hours, he pointed out, adding that senior citizens too were facing difficulties in the morning crowd.
