Andhra Pradesh State Road Transport Corporation (APSRTC), largest public transport network in AP is contemplating to provide 25 percent concession in ticket price to senior citizens traveling in RTC buses. The Executive Council of APSRTC has already accepted this proposal which will benefit lakhs of old age people and senior citizens traveling in state run APSRTC buses. The Government has to take final decision before implementation.
The APSRTC is also proposed to issue multi purpose cards to bus passengers. The corporation is also thinking of establishing separate ITIs, driving tracks for RTC drivers and GPS system for 12000 buses in the state. 1000 more buses are proposed to run in villages with the help of IKP associations.
A proposal to give 25% concession to Sr. citizen was initiated in the year 2012 but it has not so far been implemented. Who can be safely made responsible for this injustices to the Sr. Citizens.
The present political set up is concentrating in corruption and is not at all serious in doing good to public. They are not at all thinking to do anything good to senior citzen. They should learn lesson from our neighboring states and try to apply their mind.
25 % concession to senior citizens travelling in apsrtc buses is not in force where neighbouring state karnataka is honouring this why apsrtc cannot implement inspite it is accepted the proposal
This is clearly unfare & shows the corrupt people, it’s just for showoff as 25% concession for senior citizens, when I asked for the same, he charged me complete fare for both my parents & was offering front seats, I don’t understand why you people are not taking any serious action on this people, If every facility is properly implemented, you don’t need to go to every home to ask for their votes, am sure that you’ll be elected with a full majority.
25 pecent concession is implemented in our neighbour state in k.s.r.t.c bussess for senior citizen where as it is not implemented in a.p.s.r.t.c. bussess and dragging the issue since 3 years.i request the chief minister of andhra pradesh sri nara chandrababu naidu to kindly extend the 25 percent concession to senior citizens in apsrtc bussess.
thank quee.

What is the age group for half ticket in telangana road transport
Hi Reddy,
Children aged between 5 – 12 years should take half ticket in Telangana RTC.
During our apsrtc bus journey from Visakhapatnam to rajahmundry on 11-07-2016 vide service no.3451 and bus no ap 31 z 0011 madhuravada depot bus I myself aged 67 years and my wife aged 62 years travelled. We asked to give Sr. Citizen concession duly producing Original Aadhaar card. But the conductor rezected to give concession, saying the Aadhaar cards are not original and are color xeroxes. Till now we have not taken color xeroxes and they kept in original. We also told that we are having pan cards also and requested to accept, but the conductor rejected and tell us to get down from the bus. We paid full amount and travelled. If authorities wants we submit the Aadhaar cards and can be verified.it is requested to please do the needful.
Very good and useful proposal from the government. Good decision
