Hyderabad: A TGSRTC Super Luxury bus from the Thorrur depot got stuck in the mud at the temporary bus stand near Nalla Cheruvu in Uppal on Monday.
Authorities were forced to use an earthmover to pull it out, highlighting the poor condition of the makeshift bus stand, which has become slushy following the recent rains.
The temporary bus stand was set up around three months ago after bus operations were shifted from Uppal Junction due to the ongoing construction of the Uppal-Narapally Elevated Corridor. It serves buses travelling to Warangal, Jangaon, Thorrur, Yadadri, and several other destinations.
Passengers said even light showers turn the entire premises into a muddy stretch, making it difficult to board buses and creating problems for vehicle movement. Hundreds of commuters use the facility every day and have been demanding better infrastructure and proper drainage.
Commuters have urged the authorities to improve the temporary bus stand by providing basic passenger amenities until a permanent arrangement is restored.
