Hyderabad suburban transport services to get a further boost

The Hyderabad suburban passenger transport services on the busy Ghatkesar section will get a further boost with Railway Minister Suresh Prabhu announcing the MMTS project on a cost sharing basis with Telangana Government. The state government had earlier requested the Minister to include extension of MMTS services from Ghatkesar to Raigir at the temple town of Yadagiri on a cost sharing basis. It had offered to bear two-thirds of the estimated Rs.330 crore expenditure for the project. The MMTS services have become popular in and around Hyderabad and the second phase of these services is currently underway.
