MMTS, Hyderabad
Comments (6)
MMTS or Multi Modal Transport System was introduced in Hyderabad on August 9th 2003. At its inception, there were no takers for this alternative to the chaotic traffic of Hyderabad. However, from Jan this year, the number of trains plying on various routes was increased to cater to the peak hours. Travelling from Hitec City to Begumpet at 6 ‘O clock in the evening takes only 10 minutes by MMTS as compared to an hour by road. It has come as a relief to most commuters from far away places to Hitec City. Even the companies have started recognizing the importance of this transport system and have introduced shuttle services to and from the station during peak hours.
I know of many people who have been using MMTS quite often despite having their own transport. The benefit of this approach is two-fold. One, the person reaches his destination in absolutely no time at all, and two, Hyderabad sees one vehicle less on its roads which definitely helps in alleviating the traffic chaos.
Guess the govt got it right this time!!!
