TSRTC bus fare likely to increase

The fares of Telangana State Road Transport Corporation (TSRTC) buses are likely to go up in the near future.

A report submitted to Chief Minister of Telangana State K Chandrasekhar Rao suggested that in order to increase the salaries of the corporation’s employees, TSRTC bus fares need to be increased apart from financial assistance from the government.

On Thursday, the CM held a review meeting with



TSRTC officials at Pragathi Bhavan.

Explaining the reasons for suggesting a hike in TSRTC bus fares, the official said that last time when the ticket prices were increased, the price of diesel was Rs 67 per liter.

Apart from it, the TSRTC has incurred losses due to the lockdown that was imposed after the outbreak of coronavirus pandemic, the officials added.
