APSRTC gears up for resumption of operations soon in Hyderabad

The Telangana State Road Transport Corporation is all set to resume services in the city, and is waiting for the government’s nod to restart services across the Greater Hyderabad Zone.

Officials said all the buses were operationally fit and ready to resume trips any time. At present, there are around 2,500 city buses and once the government gives the permission to resume the services, most probably in a phased



manner, the corporation is planning to start off with 1,200 buses. Apart from city buses, inter-State buses too have been confined to depots for more than 70 days. The resumption of inter-State services too is expected to get the nod soon.

 

For all the services, special guidelines on safety precautions would be issued considering the Covid-19 pandemic, according to RTC Executive Director (GHZ) V Venkateshwarlu.
