Telangana RTC offers 30% fare cut on buses
HYDERABAD: Amid a fuel shortage triggered by the prevailing war-like situation, the Telangana State Road Transport Corporation (TGSRTC) has announced a 30% fare reduction on Metro AC and Metro Deluxe buses within Hyderabad.
The decision aims to ease the burden on motorists waiting for hours at petrol pumps. TGSRTC vice-chairman and managing director Y. Nagi Reddy, an Indian Police Service officer, said the move would provide affordable and comfortable travel to commuters.
He appealed to citizens, stating, “Why struggle with petrol issues when RTC buses are available?”
Time and fuel savings; relief from long queues
Nagi Reddy advised commuters not to waste time standing in long queues for petrol. He said RTC buses offer a safer and faster alternative to reach destinations instead of waiting for hours for fuel.
Fuel conservation supports economy during crisis
With fuel in short supply, every drop is valuable. He said shifting from private vehicles to public transport would help conserve fuel and support the country’s economy.
Lower pollution and smoother traffic movement
Reduced use of private vehicles will ease traffic congestion and cut pollution levels. He urged citizens to use RTC electric buses to contribute to environmental protection.
