The Greater TGSRTC is drawing up plans to operate nearly 1,200 special buses from the city to various places for the forthcoming Sankranti festival.
The RTC officials aim to cater to the surge in passenger movement as people travel to their native places for the festive holidays. According to officials,
the special services will be operated from January 9 to January 15, with buses being deployed from depots located in all directions of the city to ensure wider connectivity.
Authorities said preparations were under way to introduce additional services if passenger demand increases during peak travel days.
