The TRSRTC is all set to roll out E-double decker buses on the streets of Hyderabad. The corporation will hire 10 e-double-decker buses on a hire basis which would operate on three different routes in the city.
A tender notification in this regard was issued earlier. The corporation is already running some E services. Now the double-deckers are all set to serve the public of Greater Hyderabad.
The companies interested in plying these buses on a hire basis were invited to register their bids. According to TSRTC officials, the bid-winning company will have to enter into an agreement with the corporation to supply these buses on a rental basis.
The management has been taking all possible steps to revive it and increase the footfall of passengers thereby increasing the revenue.
An electric double-decker approximately costs Rs 2.2 crore, and hence the RTC management for now has decided to first hire them.
Depending on the popularity the RTC will try to acquire them.
