  1. For Sr.Ctzns 25% concession on basic fare is a good offer from APSRTC. It is also clear that this concession is available on all categories of buses run by APSRTC to various destinations.

    Now my question is whether this concession is available only for advance booking tickets issued across the reservation counters or also for the spot issue of tickets by the conductors of all categories of buses ?

    Also please clarify whether this concession is available on all categories of City Bus services run by APSRTC ?

  9. Dear Sir
    I along with my friend were travelling back from Horsley Hill to Madanapally on 3rd Aug 2017, the conductor of the bus refused give us the Senior citizen ticket
    As we are not of AP and not for Telangana resident inspite of producing our Adhara card. We stared from Horsley Hills at about 6.50 pm on 3/8/17, it was a short chasis bus

  10. Why Aadhar is insisted for age proof?.in case required pl indicate clearly while booking the bus ticket under senior citizen quota. Demanding only aadhar card is humiliating when no such condition prevailing. Hope u wl clarify and if required pl make necessary corrections. Regards
