MMTS-My first Experience of travelling in a local train!!!!!

Yes I did it! And guess what? I traveled in a local train in Hyderabad which is popularly known as MMTS (Multi-Modal Transport System).But the point is what’s the big deal in it. Well all these years (6 years in Hyderabad) my means of transport was restricted to company cab in the weekday and auto rickshaw in the weekend.

I had heard from many people the benefits (Saving money and time) of traveling by MMTS.But I was little hesitant as I had weird thoughts about local trains (dirty, unsafe Blah! Blah!)

It was last weekend I had to go to Hitech City.I went to Lifestyle and waited for Auto Rikshaw for 30 minutes and the reason was they wanted me to pay Rs 150 –Rs 200 which I was not ready to. While I was waiting(impatiently) for auto rikshwas I got a call from my friend Richa who suggested me to take MMTS.Little apprehensive about the idea I thought lemme give it a try and I proceeded to the counter to get a ticket.And when I came to know about the fare I was surprised,coz it is just Rs 2 from Begumpet to Hi-tech city.I waited for 10 mins and was lil scared too thinking how the journey would be.

Finally the train came and I entered the ladies compartment.To my surprise the train was clean.I got a seat too.I asked the lady seating next to me “How long it’s gonna take me to reach Hitech”?And there comes the reply,10mins..I was wondering Is it?(How can it be)

And Yes she was right, in 10 mins,I reached Hitech Station.When I got down I smiled and had this amazing feeling as if I have achieved something.Indeed a different experience altogether,moreover one can really save on money and time.

Never thought that travelling by MMTS would be so much fun!!!!!
