Till about a week ago, passengers waiting for Telangana State Road Transport Corporation (TSRTC) buses had to sweat it out in the scorching heat at several bus stops. With the arrival of the monsoon, they are likely to get drenched waiting for their ride.
This inconvenience, however, could soon be a thing of the past as the transport juggernaut and Greater Hyderabad Municipal Corporation (GHMC) have come to an understanding to either move existing bus shelters to more feasible locations or construct dozens of such structures.
“We have identified 411 such bus shelters. Of these, there is a need to move 111 shelters as passengers are facing problems. The GHMC and an agency it has identified will get 80 bus shelters moved to locations where they are actually needed, places where there is a significant number of passengers who take the bus,” said a senior TSRTC official.
