GHMC to construct 850 hi-tech bus shelters in Hyderabad

The Greater Hyderabad Municipal Corporation (GHMC) has decided to construct about 850 modernised bus shelters across the city. The bus shelters construction project would be taken up under Public-Private Partnership (PPP) mode.

The GHMC proposes to provide modern facilities like free WiFi, modern public toilets, anytime water kiosks, FM radio, comfortable seating and proper illumination besides a provision for allowing electronic streaming of bus



timings and routes.

The GHMC official further said that in phase-1, construction of about 300 modernised bus shelters would be completed in less than six months and the remaining would be completed next year in a phased manner. The official also said that there would be strict vigil on the private contractor and the agreement would be made in such way that the agencies would be held responsible for even a minor damage for a period of five years.
