Passengers aur Suburban Train Travellers Association ne railway se peak hours mein trains ki frequency badhane, punctuality maintain karne aur last-mile connectivity improve karne ki request ki hai. Association ne Secunderabad mein pehle train ke 9:40 am pe aane ke time ko impractical bataya hai, aur kaha hai ki yeh commuters ki zarurat ko pura nahi karta. Kacheguda se jaane wali Southbound trains ke liye last-mile connectivity na hone se bhi passenger patronage kam hua hai.
