HYDERABAD: Telangana State Road Transport Corporation (TSRTC) will operate 200 special buses for transporting Sabarimala Ayyappa devotees from various places in Telangana.
“As there is continuous patronage from the devotees for TSRTC bus services, this year the corporation decided to allow one Guruswamy (head of the group) to travel free to Sabarimala. In addition to the above, the corporation is providing free travel facility for two cooks, two manikantas and one attendant in the bus. The corporation has decided to give buses on hire to Sabarimala pilgrims without collecting any security deposit,” a statement from TSRTC said.
Charges vary depending on type of bus and distance to be travelled. Cancellation charges have been reduced. The corporation has coordinated with authorities from Kerala for arranging hassle free darshan for all devotees travelling on TSRTC buses through spot booking at Pamba.
