Commuters urged to plan ahead

The MMTS network spans 90 kilometres, connecting Hyderabad, Secunderabad, Falaknuma, Lingampalli, Medchal and Umdanagar, and currently carries around 60,000 passengers a day. The disruption on such heavily used corridors is likely to impact a significant number of daily commuters, office-goers and students.

Passengers travelling on the affected routes on May 11 and 12 are advised to check updated schedules before starting their journey and make alternative arrangements where necessary.
