Railways and RTC make good revenue during Lok Sabha election period

The recently concluded Lok Sabha elections seem to have yielded good revenue to the public transport sector. In view of the heavy passenger traffic during the elections, South Central Railway (SCR) operated 60 special trains between the two Telugu states from May 9 and May 15. These special



trains recorded more than 100 per cent occupancy.

Special trains were run from the twin cities to Kakinada, Visakhapatnam, Narsapur, Nagarsol, Machilipatnam and other places. In addition to special trains, additional coaches were arranged for regular trains during the election.
