Fleet
It is, presently, running 84 services a day, covering 27 stations, connecting Secunderabad, Nampally, Falaknuma and Lingampally, over the existing railway network. Around 100,000 commuters use MMTS everyday. the Diesel Multiple Units (green local trains) compliment the MMTS (white-blue trains) along few other routes like Bolaram (upto Manoharabad), Umdanagar etc.
Information
There are First Class, General, and a separate Ladies compartment.
A combined pass is issued by APSRTC buses and MMTS. So buying a single pass will help in travelling by bus as well as the train.
This is a preferred public transport for people working in and around HITEC City, Madhapur, Kondapur, Manikonda & Gachibowli. All the major IT companies run shuttle service for their employees from and to HITEC City. Else taking a shared auto is other option available.
These routes are operational (including local trains) and the number of services in that particular route is mentioned below:

Technical details
- ICF has manufactured Electric Multiple Units for the Hyderabad MMTS services. In a first ever endeavour of its kind, Railways and the State Government have agreed to equally share the cost of the rolling stock, as part of the cost sharing arrangement for the MMTS project.
- The challenge of coming up with a design meeting the expectations of new generation was taken up by ICF in dead earnest. Based on its own enriching Jan Shatabdi experience earlier during the year and discussions with the Hyderabad MMTS authorities, ICF has come up with a new design of EMU stock which fulfils the expectations of this rapidly growing twin-city.
- The coaches have been provided with an ergonomically designed drivers cab with all vital equipment being arranged to be within easy reach of the motorman on an aesthetically pleasing design of prefabricated FRP drivers desk.
- Some of the trains have automatic announcements of the stations.
