Officials of the Road Transport Authority (RTA) have issued a stern warning to private bus operators against fleecing passengers during the festival season by jacking up the ticket fares.
The department personnel have been conducting surprise checks at the main toll plazas, booking cases and collecting fines from the law-violating bus operators across the State.
In NTR district alone, the department personnel have booked cases against 190 private travel buses for violation of the rule book.
