Update on RTC buses:
Excerpts from emails to MMTS Travellers:
*******************************************************
From: Suresh_Reddy
Subject: RE: Update on RTC Services.
Dear All,
News is good but only for few people. I asked them to consider Satyam employees who are around 500 in number working in 3 diff offices in Hitec City. I will check if they are operating buses which I proposed as per the attachment. Route No.3 is very important and they have to consider.
Thank You.
Regards

Here is the email from vijay about the possibility of difficulty in feeder services at hitec-city due to implementation of one way traffic.
Regards,
ananth
***********************************************************************
Hi,
As you are all aware, there is going to be one way traffic being implemented from tomorrow around cyberabad area. As a result of that, it will be not be possible for feeder services to come to HiTec City station tomorrow after 8 AM.
We have made a representation to the DCP reg. this, since most of the commuters travel between 8.45 and 10.30 AM and they need pick up services during that time.
Probably tomorrow, you might find it difficult to get the feeder services.
We will be meeting the DCP tomorrow reg. this to work out a solution to allow company cabs and RTC buses to ply upto HiTec City station.
Probably from Thursday, we could see some change in the stance of the police reg. this one way. I will keep you posted on this.
Thanks
Vijay K

Please do not tresspass and stop other passengers from doing so. The deep impact of runovers on the mental health of motormen is reason enough not to indulge in this practice.
The letter from Laxman, reproduced below indicates the myriad feelings experienced by aghast onlookers.
Nobody deserves to undergo the trauma of watching another human die for no good reason, certainly not the motormen!!
Regards,
ananth

This is one stupid thing people do, cross the tracks when FOB’s are
present. It happens every day at Necklace Road in the morning when the
Falknuma hyderabad local arrives and people crazily go and stand near
the platform edge and to cross over to the other side, the line has
many movements at that time and the crossing point is on a blind curve
where trains come in at 50 kmph plus. When will people realize how
dangerous it is to do this, do we need a few run overs for people to
get some sense. I have seen it happen at Hitech city as well. Please
educate people when you travel in MMTS Trains about this danger of
line crossing. Sad part is even ladies do it quite often even the
educated lot.

I travelled by the 9:36 FL MMTS local last friday from MXT to SC. I noticed something that I was curious to ask a better informed railfan.
At Jamai Osmania, the driver went past the sign that read “EMU drivers stop here” and stopped further ahead such that the first door in the first coach crossed this board.
Does anyone know if this is permissible? The local was terribly late. The time must have been around 22:40 at Jamai Osmania.
Personally, I think that breaking a rule such as this may be a recipe for disasters… Comments, brickbats and compliments welcome.
Until next time,
Ananth
