Officials at the helm of Andhra Pradesh State Road Transport Corporation (APSRTC) are gearing up to rake in the moolah during this Sankranti festival.
This festival will be a special one for the public sector giant in terms of earning additional revenue, thanks to the inability of the Telangana Road Transport Corporation to operate special buses from Hyderabad to various destinations in Andhra Pradesh due to the implementation of the Mahalakshmi scheme that facilitates free travel for women within the State limits.
Grabbing the opportunity, the APSRTC officials quickly altered their initial plan to operate 1,600 special buses from Hyderabad towards Andhra Pradesh and increased the number to 3,000 now.
