APSRTC to develop four depots as ‘bus ports’

Facilities on a par with an airport will be created for passengers, says MD

The Andhra Pradesh State Road Transport Corporation (APSRTC) has proposed integrated bus terminals as part of which four bus stations in the State would be transformed into ‘bus ports’ by creating modern facilities on par with airports.

Officials at the helm of the cash-starved corporation have been working overtime to find new avenues to generate additional revenue. As part of the move, they have identified four bus stations at Tirupati, Visakhapatnam, Vijayawada and Kurnool to be spruced up with modern amenities to provide better services to passengers, besides generating revenue from the commercial establishments proposed to be developed on Public-private partnership (PPP) model.
