the 28Z ordinaries

EARLY 28Z

A major design shift from the earlier ordinaries which had smaller box windows , the last panel of the sleeve of these ordinaries were a bit sloping . These continued the old green/cream color interiors and had a single seat facing opposite side behind the rear door .

MID 28Z

These look same as the earlier ones apart from the last panel which was made straight . These were introduced along with the second generation metro express with middle door .

LATER 28Z

These were the last of ordinaries registered as  "28Z" and had a major design shift . These were the first ordinaries to feature stick on glass over the window panes and the earlier box type windows with aluminium frames were replaced with glass only panes which are in wide use now . These have a gasket (?) on one pane to stop rain water entering inside . Also, the single seat behind the rear door was removed from this model . these had rear split wind shield at rear too .  

It is Festive Time again and hence the increase in passengers going to their home towns has exploded as expected . Tickets to all services leading to coastal districts have been booked and the special buses announced earlier too have been filled. Hence, APSRTC is planning to run 3000+ special services staring from Hyderabad to All the coastal districts depending on demand from 09-01-2013 to 13-01-2013 . Passengers will be charged 50% extra of the existing fare for the special services as is the practice.

There has been a large public outrage over apsrtc charging extra for the special services. But, APSRTC's officials are helpless. They say the extra fare should be ccollected to achieve at least brak even leave alone profits.
