A day ahead of the assembly elections, bus depots and major bus pick up points in the city and suburbs were thronged by scores of families heading to their hometowns to exercise their franchise.
Passengers began thronging to the RTC bus stands since early
morning on Wednesday and even the private bus operators ran packed services.
The TSRTC authorities said approximately 800 buses have already either departed or scheduled to depart from Mahatma Gandhi Bus Station (MGBS), Jubilee Bus Station (JBS) and other points.
