More than four months after the Telangana State Road Transport Corporation (TSRTC) proposed a hike in basic fare for bus passengers, the State Government is yet to take a call.
However, in the recent past, given the TSRTC’s decisions, commuters on different bus services, and depending on the different bus stages, have been paying more for a ride.
While a ‘beleaguered’ TSRTC management maintains that there has been no hike in basic fare, people have been invariably paying more on account of the safety cess of ₹1 and fuel cess of ₹2 per passenger. The ticket fares are being rounded off to a multiple of ₹5.
