The '''Hyderabad Multi-Modal Transport System''', commonly abbreviated '''MMTS''', is a [[Urban rail transit in India|suburban rail]] system in [[Hyderabad]], [[India]]. A [[joint venture]] of the [[government of Telangana]] and the [[South Central Railway zone|South Central Railway]], it is operated by the latter. The {{convert|50|km|adj=on}} system operates on three main routes: [[Falaknuma–Lingampalli route|Falaknuma–Lingampalli]], [[Hyderabad–Falaknuma route|Hyderabad–Falaknuma]] and [[Hyderabad–Lingampalli route|Hyderabad–Lingampalli]].

==History==
The first phase was opened to the public on 9 August 2003 by Deputy Prime Minister of India [[L. K. Advani|L.K.
