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.
