APSRTC needs 8,000 more buses, says Transport Minister

The Hindu  

There is a need to increase the Andhra Pradesh State Road Transport Corporation fleet size by at least 8,000 buses in order to ensure effective delivery of services, Transport Minister M. Ramprasad Reddy said. Addressing a press conference on August 9, the Minister said that in the last five years, the YSRCP government had neither purchased any new buses nor had it repaired any damaged buses. The Minister accused the YSRCP government of “neglecting the Amaravati brand of buses because they were named after the new capital chosen earlier by the TDP government. “Our government has started disbursing pensions, released the notification for recruitment of teachers through DSC, has set the ball rolling for undertaking skill census, and this August 15, plans to reopen Anna Canteens, for which ISCON’s Akshayapatra has been roped in,” he said, adding that the free bus travel scheme would also be a reality very soon.
