HYDERABAD

Deputy Leader of the BRS Legislature Party T. Harish Rao has criticised the State Government for fleecing people with double fare for travel in RTC buses this festive season.

“Instead of extending some goodies to people during the Bathukamma and Dasara festivities the government is collecting double fare from people travelling to villages by turning the regular buses as special services and reducing the number of regular services.” Citing an example, he stated that the regular fare for travel from JBS to Karimnagar would be ₹230, but the government had made RTC collect ₹400 now in the name of special buses.
