TSRTC unlikely to resume AC bus services in City

Hyderabad’April  26(PMI): The TSRTC is still mum on providing AC bus services to the commuters in Hyderabad even after the mercury in the city has crossed 40 degrees Celsius. The public are not willing to use the metro rail as they feel it expensive. The AC cabs can be taken as second option but the public feel that it is too expensive. Though the TSRTC boast of hi-tech AC bus shelters, the corporation is in no mood to ply the AC buses on roads. The TSRTC used to play 80 AC buses as ‘Metro Luxury’ in Hyderabad with a minimum fare of Rs 25. After the end of second lockdown, the passengers number fell sharply and later these buses did not come on the roads. Now, as the common man is reeling under the scorching sun, the AC buses can be the best option for the commuters to ply with a minimum fair charge. The AC cabs are charging the passengers from Rs 100 to 150 during every journey.
