Hyderabad: The Telangana Road Transport Corporation (TGSRTC) on Monday, July 28, announced a 30 percent reduction in fares for buses from Hyderabad to Vijayawada.
The TGSRTC is offering a 30 percent discount on Garuda Plus and E Garuda services, and 20 percent off on Super Luxury and Lahari (non-AC) services.
According to the TGSRTC, the step was in response to aggressive pricing by private operators and competing state carrier APSRTC on the high-demand corridor.
In February this year, the TGSRTC offered a 10 percent discount on Lahari (non-AC) sleeper cum seater and Super Luxury services, and an 8 percent discount on Rajdhani AC buses on this route.
The Hyderabad-Vijayawada route is among the busiest intercity routes from Telangana’s capital. About 120 buses depart daily from Hyderabad to Vijayawada, with services running around the clock at 10-30 minute intervals.
