Yet one other spherical of talks between officers of the Andhra Pradesh State Road Transport Corporation and their Telangana counterparts in Hyderabad Bus Bhavan on Wednesday remained inconclusive.
Inter-State bus operations between the 2 States had stopped within the final seven months on account of the prevailing COVID-19 pandemic scenario. The APSRTC is keen to renew operations to the neighbouring State, particularly in view of the Dasara festivities, a time when there’s heavy site visitors of individuals travelling between the 2 States.
“In the name of route parity, they want too many advantages, compromising the interests of the APSRTC,” stated a high official who was a part of the talks.
APSRTC buses function in 1.4 lakh km on the Hyderabad-Vijayawada-Garikapadu route whereas TSRTC operates in 33,000 km. “They now want parity for 67,000 km on the Vijayawada-Hyderabad route without they having to touch interior areas of Andhra Pradesh,” stated the official. He stated the Telangana RTC needed sector-wise profit. “In the name of parity, they are asking for something else,” he stated.
Though an answer to the impasse doesn’t appear simple to return by, the APSRTC officers wish to function buses to Telangana on a short lived foundation until March 2021, with out ready for a everlasting settlement on the inter-State bus operations between the 2 States.
“We will send our proposals to the TSRTC in a couple of days with a hope that both sides will sort out the differences at the earliest,” stated the official.
