|January 13, 2025
THE Andhra Pradesh Transport Department has slapped a fine of around ₹1 crore on private travel bus operators for violating rules, and charging exorbitant fares from travellers during Sankranti festival season.
Following complaints from public on the exorbitant fares, State Transport Commissioner Manish Kumar Sinha directed the RTA to initiate action against the private bus operators, who resorted to encash the festive rush.
Acting on the Commissioner's instructions, transport officials have cracked the whip on private bus operators and registered over 800 cases in the past two days for charging exorbitant fares and violating the RTA norms.
