With the assembly and Lok Sabha elections in Andhra Pradesh scheduled for May 13, residents from Telangana and Karnataka are returning home to vote. Crowded buses and fully booked trains indicate the high voter turnout expected for the elections.
APSRTC and TSRTC Special Bus Services
- Both Telangana and Andhra Pradesh Road Transport Corporations have arranged tens of special buses for voters.
- APSRTC is considering express trains due to the high demand for travel and the lack of available buses.
Challenges Faced by Voters
- Many voters express grievances over the lack of available seats on buses and trains, with reservations for trains completed a month in advance.
- Private bus ticket prices have surged during the election season, making travel more expensive for voters.
Efforts to Accommodate Voters
- TSRTC is running extra buses to meet the needs of passengers during the summer holidays.
- MD Sajjanar announced a 10 percent discount on ticket prices for those booking in advance, easing the financial burden for voters.
