Commuters request to expand MMTS services in Hyderabad

With the recent hike in Telangana State Road Transport Corporation (TGSRTC) bus fares across Hyderabad, commuters are now requesting that South Central Railway (SCR) increase the frequency of Multi-Modal Transport System (MMTS) train services to provide a more affordable travel option.

Several MMTS trains are running with nearly empty coaches on certain routes.



Despite having 10–12 coaches per train, some services see fewer than ten passengers per coach.

While the TGSRTC has justified the fare revision as necessary in view of rising fuel and maintenance costs, passengers argue that the hike is an additional burden on middle- and lower-income groups already struggling with high living expenses and limited transport alternatives.
