A metro that is not running yet does not shorten today’s drive.
Metro Phase 2 and new radial roads are drawn toward the airport, the south and the east. Until a line can be boarded, the commute is still the road. Adibatla and Ghatkesar can be timed this week.
A corridor on a map is not a station at the gate
Hyderabad Metro Phase 2 is discussed as a way to join the airport, the southern employment belt and the eastern exits of the Outer Ring Road. Radial roads are discussed in the same breath. This note does not list stations, and it does not give a year in which a particular gate will have a metro at the door. A line that cannot be boarded does not compress a commute. A road that is still a proposal does not change the drive a family will make on Monday.
The test used elsewhere on this site still applies. If the journey cannot be made, it is not yet part of the address. Rental yield is often calculated as if the future line were already open. Neither flat page on this note prints a yield. A rent should be asked for the plan being bought, in the month it is being bought, and then held beside the instalment. A metro map is not that rent.
