COMMUTERS MUST WEAR MASK, USE SANITISER

It will be the duty of commuters to wear face masks and use hand sanitisers, etc.

A senior RTC official, requesting anonymity, said that looking at the number of Covid-19 cases in the core city, the authorities were worried about operating in the city. He said operations in peripheral areas, including Rajendranagar, Maheshwaram, Ibrahimpat-nam, Bandlaguda and others should be considered as pilot, since the organisation will study challenges in operating buses in the core city.

The official said it would be an impossible task to operate buses in an organised manner like HMRL considering the revenue aspect.

When asked about commencing the operations of buses in the core city, the official said that a final decision will be taken by the state government and most likely buses will fully operate in a couple of days based on the outcome of the 135 routes pressed into service.
