Hyderabad: In a big announcement to ensure night-time travel becomes more economically feasible, Telangana State Road Transport Corporation (TGSRTC) has reduced fares of Pushpak bus services from Rajiv Gandhi International Airport (RGIA), Shamshabad, Hyderabad. The fare reduction would be effective during night time alone, between 10:00 pm and 6:00 am.
To provide relief, economical travel
According to ABN, the move is to provide relief to late-night travelers, particularly those who come in late flights and would otherwise have to depend on more expensive modes of transport.
According to the revised fare system, the fare for some of the important routes has been reduced by Rs 50 to Rs 100, based on the distance. For example, the Hyderabad airport to Jubilee Bus Station fare has been reduced from Rs 450 to Rs 400, and the airport to Shamshabad and Pahadishareef routes have been reduced by 50 percent, from Rs 200 to Rs 100.
