Operators keep their plans, buses ready in Nellore, Ongole to meet Dasara rush

The Hindu  

The hustle and bustle associated with Dasara is back with a bang in south coastal Andhra Pradesh as the health situation arising out of COVID-19 has fully come under control. Over 200 special bus services will be run by the APSRTC from, among other places, Nellore and Ongole in south coastal Andhra region to Hyderabad, Vijayawada and Visakhapatnam. Only normal bus fares are charged by the APSRTC to avoid fleecing of the passengers by private bus operators even as the latter overhauled their buses to run without any hitch shuttle services during the nine days when they expect the passengers rush to go up in geometric proportion. ''We have drawn up an action plan to ply over 100 special bus services from Ongole and four other depots in the district to Hyderabad, Visakhapatnam, Vijayawada and other places,'' says APSRTC Ongole Regional Manager B. Sudhakar. Special Dasara bus services will be run to Vijayawada from Nellore and Ongole by private bus operators during day time to enable devotees to have darshan of the mother goddess at Indrakeeladri and return home the same day.
