Hyderabad: The Telangana State Road Transport Corporation (TSRTC) has announced the temporary suspension of T-9 tickets due to the rush of passengers in view of the Raksha Bandhan festival. The Corporation officials on Monday said that the suspension will be in force for four days starting between Tuesday and September 1.
TSRTC is issuing two tickets titled T-9 to passengers traveling in the Palle Velugu buses for distances of 30 and 60 kilometers, ranging from Rs 50 to Rs 100 respectively.
“During Raksha Bandhan, the number of passengers in the buses is high. It is difficult for the staff to issue T-9 tickets at that time. To issue the tickets, the passengers’ gender, age, etc. details have to be entered in the TIM machines which takes a lot of time,” says TSRTC Managing Director VC Sajjanar.
When the traffic is high, the process of issuing tickets under the T-9 scheme will take a lot of time. It is in this context that officials have decided to suspend the scheme temporarily, he added.
