TGSRTC plans free WiFi in buses and bus stations

In a move to enhance passenger experience and keep in tune with emerging digital habits, the Telangana State Road Transport Corporation (TGSRTC) is planning to roll out free WiFi services in its buses and bus stations.

This initiative is aimed to attract passengers, particularly youth who use internet during every available free time, including during commuting or waiting for transport. The digital expansion through WiFi is seen as part of RTC’s broader vision to offer modern and tech-friendly services to its passengers.

The



proposal which is currently under discussion at the management level, seeks to replicate the free WiFi model already in place at many railway stations across India. The RTC currently offers free WiFi service only in Lahari AC buses operated to distant places and the plan is to extend this facility not only to other categories of buses but also to bus stations.

“There have been ideas and proposals from various tech companies. But nothing has been finalised as of now. It may take some more time for implementing it,” said a TGSRTC official.
