TGSRTC to launch dedicated bus services for 373 new Hyderabad colonies
TGSRTC will launch dedicated bus services to 373 newly developed colonies under its ‘Hyderabad Connect’ initiative. The plan is expected to benefit more than 7.6 lakh daily commuters by improving access to major job hubs and reducing dependence on private vehicles
Hyderabad: In a major push to strengthen public transport in rapidly expanding residential pockets, the Telangana State Road Transport Corporation (TGSRTC) has decided to introduce dedicated bus services to 373 newly developed colonies across the city.
Under the initiative titled ‘Hyderabad Connect’, officials aim to bridge the transport gap in fast-growing suburban and peripheral areas. Following field inspections, RTC teams identified colonies where public transport access is either minimal or non-existent. Priority will be given to high-density clusters, with the first phase of services expected to start within the next two months.
According to TGSRTC officials, the initiative is projected to benefit around 7,61,200 daily commuters once fully operational. Buses will be routed from key employment hubs such as Hitec City, Gachibowli, Financial District and Uppal, ensuring smoother connectivity for office-goers and students living in far-flung areas.
Officials said the new services are expected to ease traffic congestion, reduce reliance on private vehicles and offer safer, affordable mobility options to residents of expanding colonies.
