B. Goverdhan says he will make the public transport system self-reliant and passenger friendly
The newly appointed Telangana State Road Transport Corporation (TSRTC) Chairman B. Goverdhan on Monday said he will make all out efforts to bring back the past glory of the public transport system, making it self-reliant and passenger friendly on Monday.
Stating that the TSRTC is a “great” organisation, which has seen many ups and downs, he traced most of the problems to the rise in diesel prices and the COVID-19 pandemic with the revenue loss reaching ₹ 2,500 crore.
Talking to the media after taking charge, Mr. Goverdhan said before the pandemic, the organisation used to earn ₹13 crore a day and it has come down to ₹10 a day but the expenditure is to the tune of ₹18 crore, leaving a deficit of ₹8 crore. He will soon look into the functioning of the cargo parcel services, fuel filling stations and other ‘non-operational’ areas where revenue can be increased.
