The
much-awaited ‘Pushpak – Airport liner’ bus services to the Rajiv Gandhi
International Airport (RGIA) were flagged off at the Rajiv Gandhi International
Airport by Home Minister Sabita Indra Reddy on Friday.
The APSRTC has introduced the buses from four different areas of
the city. The buses will ply from Secunderabad via L.B. Nagar, from
Secunderabad via Secretariat, from S.R.Nagar via Care Hospital and from
Kukatpally via Gachibowli.
The corporation has started the new services after the Aero
Express buses were withdrawn by the operator.
A total of 25 low-floor air-conditioned buses will make about
220 trips a day. The fares to the airport are between Rs.100 and Rs.200
depending on the distance.
Speaking on the occasion, Mrs. Reddy said that the services
would fulfil the needs of the airport-bound passengers and also the general
public. She congratulated the APSRTC authorities for introducing the bus
service.
APSRTC Managing Director A.K.Khan asked the officials to ensure
that punctuality is maintained by the bus drivers. He said more buses would be
shortly introduced from other areas to the airport.
