L.B. Nagar to Ameerpet by Metro
L.B. Nagar to Ameerpet is a direct trip on the Red Line with no change of train. It runs from the south-eastern edge of the city, where the highway to Vijayawada begins, straight through Dilsukhnagar, Malakpet, MG Bus Station, Koti and the city centre to Ameerpet. It is one of the longest single-line rides on the network, and the metro saves riders from some of the slowest roads in Hyderabad.

Best time to travel
Morning trains towards Miyapur fill up from Dilsukhnagar onwards, and the busiest stretch is usually between MG Bus Station and Ameerpet. Leaving before 8:00 gives you a much better chance of a seat. On the way back, trains towards L.B. Nagar are busiest in the early evening.
Starting at L.B. Nagar
L.B. Nagar is a terminal station, so trains start empty there. That makes it worth walking to L.B. Nagar from nearby colonies rather than boarding at Victoria Memorial or Chaitanyapuri, where trains are already filling. The station connects with many city and highway buses at the junction below.
Arriving at Ameerpet
Ameerpet is a large, multi-level station. Once you get down from the Red Line, look for the exit signs for your side of the road before leaving the paid area. The coaching institutes are spread along both sides of the main road, so the right exit can save you a long walk around the junction.
Other options
For trips to Punjagutta or Khairatabad, get down earlier on the same train; they are the two stops just before Ameerpet. If you are heading to Secunderabad instead, a better option is to change at MG Bus Station for the Green Line towards JBS Parade Ground.
