The first phase of the Multi-Modal Transport System (MMTS) was started on August 9 2004. The South Central Railway (SCR) is running close to 30 services a day, connecting Secunderabad and Lingampally on the city outskirts. Its unique feature is the connectivity between rail and road transport for the facility of the commuters. The first phase covers a distance of 43 km and 26 stations in both the Secunderabad-Lingampally and Hyderabad-Lingampally sections. A common ticket has been introducted to allow passengers to travel in MMTS trains and connecting buses.

Most of the MMTS services are spread across the 7:30AM - 9:30AM and 4PM - 6:30PM, the peak hours for the traffic. The trains also ply between 5AM to 10:30PM with a reduced frequency.
