To avoid a heavy rush during the Sankranti festival, the Telangana State Road Transport Corporation (TSRTC) will run 4,484 special buses from January 7 to 15. Passengers can book their seats in advance at 626 reservation facilities provided by the corporation.
The TSRTC MD VC Sajjanar held a review meeting with senior officials and RMs at Hyderabad Bus Bhawan regarding the arrangement of special buses for Sankranti. The Maha Lakshmi scheme will be applicable for these special services as well.
Arrangements like a public address system, drinking water facility, mobile toilets, and pandals will be made in high demand areas of Hyderabad such as MGBS, JBS, Uppal Cross Roads, Aranmghar, LB Nagar Cross Roads, KPHB, Bowenpally, and Gachibowli to avoid inconvenience to passengers.
DVM rank officers in-charge will be appointed at each busy point to ensure the availability of special buses based on demand. The buses will run from Hyderabad to various destinations in Telangana, Andhra Pradesh, Karnataka, and Maharashtra. Regular fares will be charged without any hike.
TSRTC CVO Dr Ravinder, Executive Directors Munishekhar, Krishnakanth, Venkateshwarlu, CTM (Operations) Jeevan Prasad, CME Raghunath Rao, RMs, and others were present in the meeting.
