Hyderabad: MMTS first-class journeys to be cheaper by 50% from May 5

The South Central Railway (SCR) announced Tuesday a 50 per cent cut in the basic first-class ticket fares in Hyderabad’s suburban MMTS (multi-modal transport system) train network from May 5 onwards. The minimum charge, for up to 10 km, has been reduced from Rs 50 to 25 and the maximum charge, for distances from 36-45 km, from Rs 155 to Rs 90.

In the twin cities of Hyderabad and Secunderabad, the railway ministry’s decision to rationalise the basic fares of first-class travel in suburban train services is expected to benefit passengers travelling in the sections Falaknuma –Secunderabad –Hyderabad–Lingampalli-Ramchandrapuram.
