To beat the discomfort of rising temperatures in Greater Hyderabad, the Telangana State Road Transport Corporation (TSRTC) will introduce 100 electric air-conditioned (AC) buses by April.
The TSRTC operates around 64 electric AC buses in the Greater Hyderabad zone, mainly serving airport routes. It now plans on increasing its capacity.
These buses see a 60% occupancy rate on regular days, which escalates to 85% during the summer months due to the seasonal surge in demand for AC buses.
