Telangana Transport Minister Ponnam Prabhakar said in Assembly on Thursday (September 10, 2026) that requests for constituency-wise requirements for TGSRTC buses were received from legislature members in the previous assembly session. Around 65 lakh passengers take TGSRTC buses everyday.

Mr. Prabhakar pointed fingers at the previous government of Bharat Rashtra Samithi (BRS) and said buses were not bought for 10 years and did not resolve employees’ issues. The Minister said that 2,932 new buses were bought so far.

Around 347.7 crore women passengers availed free bus service in the State so far and saved ₹12,171 crore.
