Chief Minister A. Revanth Reddy directed officials to complete the tendering process for the proposed Personal Rapid Transit System (PRTS) in Hyderabad by December and ensure that the first phase of the project is completed within a year.
At a review meeting on the proposed PRTS on Thursday, the Chief Minister said the proposed network was aimed at improving connectivity between key government, commercial and public destinations in the city.
One corridor should connect LB Stadium with the Ranigunj bus station via the Ambedkar statue, Indira Park and Lower Tank Bund, he suggested. Another corridor should connect the Assembly Metro station with Ravindra Bharathi, the Secretariat and IMAX, extending further to Begumpet.
Mr. Revanth Reddy also proposed setting up a multi-level parking facility along Necklace Road, with a dedicated depot for PRTS services as part of the facility. In the western part of the city, he directed officials to immediately take up a PRTS corridor connecting KPHB Metro station with Durgam Cheruvu, Raheja Mindspace and Biodiversity Metro stations. A multi-level parking facility with a PRTS depot should also be established near IKEA at Gachibowli to facilitate operations on the proposed corridor.
