Hyderabad: BSP Telangana Chief DrRS Praveen Kumar expressed concerns regarding the potential impact of free bus travel for women on the state’s Road Transport Corporation (RTC), which is now gradually recovering from financial losses. He emphasized that such a move could potentially affect the livelihoods of the 50,000 employees working for the RTC.
Kumar further raised the issue of village bus services, which have been discontinued since the formation of Telangana. He questioned whether these services will ever be revived, leaving villagers with limited transportation options.
Additionally, he expressed concern for the thousands of auto drivers who fear losing their livelihoods due to the potential influx of passengers onto free buses. He urged the government to provide assistance to these auto drivers, many of whom migrated from villages to cities in search of better opportunities
