New passenger schemes on the anvil: Sajjanar
The load of everyday diesel price to the State Road Transport Corporation would soon be shifted to general commuters. The move would, however, be cushioned with introduction of a range of new passenger-friendly schemes.
“There are plans to hike the ticket fare across the services in the State in the wake of diesel price rise. We will also introduce more schemes like CAT (concessional annual travel) card,” V.C. Sajjanar, Managing Director-TSRTC, said.
Speaking to the media in Nalgonda on Saturday, the top official reiterated that RTC needs public patronage. He encouraged the general public to avail custom packages such as vehicles for picnics, marriages and pilgrimages, without paying any deposit.
