HYDERABAD: The Hyderabad Unified Metropolitan Transport Authority (HUMTA) has launched a major push for integrated urban mobility, with proposals including an elevated cycle walk along Hussainsagar, multimodal connectivity at all 51 MMTS stations, intelligent traffic management and improved pedestrian infrastructure across the Hyderabad Metropolitan Area.
The proposals were discussed during the first meetings of four Working Groups constituted by the state government to strengthen coordination and accelerate sustainable transport initiatives.
Key proposals include an elevated cycle walk linking Hussainsagar’s tourist destinations with public transport hubs, Multi-Modal Integration (MMI) plans for all 51 MMTS stations, improved first- and last-mile Metro connectivity, feasibility studies for multi-level parking facilities and extension of the Outer Ring Road cycle track to adjoining growth corridors.
