Hyderabad Pushpak airport bus fares cut by up to 40%
The Greater Hyderabad RTC has slashed fares on Pushpak AC buses serving Rajiv Gandhi International Airport, with reductions of up to 40 per cent effective from Wednesday, 7 October 2026. The move aims to encourage more passengers to use the dedicated airport bus service.
Under the revised rates, the fare from Miyapur X Road-Gachibowli dropped from Rs 350 to Rs 250, while Lingampally-Airport and Allywn X Road-Airport are now Rs 200, down from Rs 350. Tickets from Kothaguda-Airport, Gachibowli-Airport and Shilparamam-Airport have been reduced from Rs 300 to Rs 150 each.
Indian Opinion Analysis
The fare cut directly lowers the cost of airport access for commuters on six key Hyderabad routes, with the steepest reductions on longer trips. By making the Pushpak service cheaper than app-based cabs on these corridors, the RTC is betting on higher ridership to offset lower per-ticket revenue. What remains unresolved is whether the reduced fares will be sustained beyond the initial promotional period, and whether frequency will be increased to match any surge in demand.
