Days before the reopening of educational institutions, the Telangana State Road Transport Corporation has increased the bus pass fares for students effective Monday, June 9. The revised bus pass fares include those for the general public, according to a press note issued by the department. This fare hike follows on the heels of a similar step taken by the Hyderabad Metro Railway. The student bus pass for Hyderabad and Warangal which used to be ₹400 will now be ₹600.
Student bus fares have not been revised for the past three years. “There is a huge rush of student population in using the RTC buses in Hyderabad and suburban areas. Keeping this in mind, the students with bus passes will now be allowed to travel in Metro Express buses also,” according to the press note.
