The Andhra Pradesh State Road Transport Corporation (APSRTC) has earned ₹10.20 crore in revenue during the Dasara festival by operating 4,504 buses, vice-chairman and managing director Ch. Dwaraka Tirumala Rao said.

“Last year, the APSRTC had operated 2,400 buses for Dasara and had earned a revenue of ₹5.40 crore. The revenue has almost doubled this year,” said Mr. Tirumala Rao, complimenting the officers and staff on running services in a planned manner.

Special buses were operated from September 24 to October 10, to various destinations in Telangana and other neighbouring States. APSRTC plied special services without additional fare, but the response from the passengers were overwhelming, the VC&MD said in a release on Monday.
