First and last trains
| Detail | Typical timing |
|---|---|
| First train of the day | Around 4:10 AM to 5:00 AM |
| Last train of the day | Around 11:00 PM to 11:25 PM |
| Peak hour gap | About 20 to 30 minutes on busy routes |
| Off-peak gap | 30 minutes to over 1 hour |
| Sundays | Fewer trains; some services do not run |
Around 80 MMTS services ran each day at the end of 2025. That is far fewer than a decade ago, so an old printed timetable is not reliable.
How to check live MMTS timings
- Railway apps: the official Indian Railways ticket app (UTS or its replacement, RailOne) and the NTES service show train times and running status.
- Station boards: each MMTS station displays the current timetable near the booking counter.
- South Central Railway: SCR posts timetable changes and cancellations on its website and social media.
- Enquiry number 139: the railway helpline gives train status by call or SMS.
MMTS fares and tickets
| Ticket | Fare (approx.) |
|---|---|
| Second class, up to about 20 km | Rs.5 |
| Second class, longer trips | Rs.10 to Rs.15 |
| First class | Several times the second class fare |
| Monthly season ticket, second class | From about Rs.150 |
Buy tickets at the station counter, at the ticket vending machines, or on the railway app before you reach the platform. Travelling without a ticket leads to a fine.
Useful tips
- Each train has coaches reserved for women. Look for the marking on the platform.
- Hitech City, Begumpet, Secunderabad, Khairatabad, Lakdikapul and Malakpet MMTS stations are close to metro stations, so you can switch modes.
- Trains are less crowded after 11 AM and before 5 PM.
- Keep a little buffer. Trains are sometimes cancelled for track work, and SCR announces this a day or two ahead.
