Did u ever notice the annoying diversion/cancellation/cutting of routes of city buses especially during nights?
This is actually a result of the growing traffic in Hyderabad city.
For example , if a bus has to be run 6 trips it is run in two shifts . one morning and other afternoon. most of the after noon trips take 1 to 2 hrs extra time because of the peak hour traffic. hence resulting in cancellation of last trips.Hence, to avoid the cancellation of last trips APSRTC has decided to run buses in skeletal routes(cut short the routes) in the afternoon shift . so that the bus can at least make tree trips in the specified time.
One of the best examples is the 218D city sheetal buses which are now being stooped at Lingampllay instead of Patancheru to save on the running time of the bus. till recent times most of the last trips of 218D buses used to be get cancelled because of peak hour traffic and increased running time per trip,
Hope this acts as a solution to the problem of last trips getting cancelled because of increase in running time because of peak hour traffic in city.
