In a bid to reduce congestion on overcrowded city ordinary buses during peak student travel hours, TGSRTC has extended permission for students to use Metro Express buses in Hyderabad, in addition to the regular city buses.

Toll Plaza user charges hiked

As per government order GO 24, TGSRTC is authorised to increase passenger user charges in line with toll tax revisions. Accordingly, an additional Rs. 10 per toll plaza will be charged from passengers passing through toll plazas. However, this increase will not affect Hyderabad city routes as there are no toll plazas on these routes.
