APSRTC runs thousands of buses in the city which pick and drop passengers belonging to all faith and religion from one place to another. Of late images of deities of a particular religion are seen placed in some buses which create concern among passengers.
A passenger opined that RTC is a means of public transport hence either it should have symbolic images of all religions or none. It must be recalled that such complaints were also received by RTC earlier on which the department took action and had removed religious images from the buses. Intellectuals feel that there should be no such activity in public transport system. These images create communal thoughts which can disrupt peace.
To address the grievances of commuters, the Andhra Pradesh State Road Transport Corporation has launched a Toll Free Number. The passengers can call 1800 200 4599 to seek redressal of their grievances at anytime and from anywhere.
