To all IT professionals of Hyderabad,
Traveling has been a major problem for people living and working in Hyderabad. Every year around 2 lakh vehicles are added to the roads of Hyderabad. With the kind of roads and traffic system we have it is difficult to travel on roads, be it public or private transport.
The introduction of MMTS had come as a rescue for many of us. The time of journey had considerably reduced compared with the time taken to commute between the same places on road. But as we seem to think that the problem is solved there are some more problems that need to be solved.
The Issues:
· Less frequency of trains during peak hours.
· No basic facilities and amenities in most of the railway stations (toilets, drinking water etc.)
· Single ticket counters during peak hours.
· Road connectivity between stations and important destinations.
· No proper security measures
Between Kacheguda and Lingampally, from 7am to 9am and 5pm to 7pm there are only 2 trains. With this limited frequency during peak hours, its becoming increasingly difficult to travel even by MMTS due to over-crowding .

Most of the stations like Hitec City, do not have toilets and drinking water facilities though hundreds of us have to wait there for trains daily.
Even during peak hours the officials operate only one counter to issue tickets and that too at a snail's pace. Though there are more machines available at some stations, they are not put to use for unknown reasons.
The stations are not well connected to important destinations like Hitec City, Gachibowli etc where most of the IT professionals work. There are no proper bus services from the stations and we have to depend on the unreliable autos.
In spite of repeated representations, requests and complaints, the authorities seem to be least bothered about our problems.
What do we do?
Let us make our voice heard, sign the following petition and we will let them know that there are thousands of us who want a change in these situations.

Let us all try that this New Year brings in with it better services and less problems.
Forward this mail to all your friends, especially IT professionals and let us all stand together bring about the change. When we reach a considerable number of signatures, we will approach the concerned authorities with our united opinion.
"Tum Chalo, tho Hindustaan Chale…."
