Hyderabad Commuters Plea: More Frequent MMTS Trains Needed, Especially During Peak Hours
Hyderabad, December 27, 2025 – With the South Central Railway (SCR) having largely restored MMTS suburban train schedules in recent months, commuters are now urging authorities to significantly expand services and improve connectivity. Passengers are calling for increased frequency on key routes, particularly during peak hours and early morning services, to better connect with long-distance trains at major junctions like Secunderabad. Proposals include new routes connecting Medchal, Cherlapalli, and other growing suburbs, as well as extending existing services to reach farther areas. Commuters have also suggested reduced intervals between trains during peak hours, integration of ticketing for long-distance passengers, and improved facilities at stations. Railway users committees and passenger associations are advocating for better enforcement against ticketless travel, clearer information displays, and overall improved amenities and safety on the MMTS network. The SCR is expected to open three new MMTS halt stations soon.
