Festival fervor is building in Telangana with TGSRTC’s announcement of 6,431 special buses tailored for Sankranti revelers. This fleet expansion underscores the state transporter’s pivotal role in facilitating one of India’s largest seasonal migrations.
Scheduled from January 11 through 16, the services target peak commuter flows from urban hubs to villages. Express routes to Rajahmundry, Tirupati, and Mumbai cater to extended family visits. Semi-luxury and ordinary buses ensure options across budgets.
Preparation has been meticulous: crew training sessions focused on defensive driving and emergency response. All vehicles sport festival-themed branding, adding to the celebratory mood. Terminals are decked with information kiosks and medical aid posts.
TGSRTC’s customer-centric approach shines through concessions for students and differently-abled passengers. The online portal has seen a 40% spike in bookings already, prompting server upgrades for seamless access.
Historically, Sankranti specials have been a revenue and reputation booster for TGSRTC, clocking record earnings while maintaining high satisfaction rates. This year, green initiatives include bio-diesel blends in select buses.
Public awareness campaigns via radio and hoardings remind commuters of etiquette like no-smoking and luggage limits. For real-time assistance, dial the 24/7 control room.
