RTC Strike Intensifies in Telangana: College Students & Public Hit Hard

RTC strike disrupts college students and commuters across Telangana, increasing travel costs, absenteeism, and daily hardships amid reduced bus services.

Published

The ongoing RTC strike across Telangana is continuing to disrupt daily life, with its impact now being felt more sharply by college students and the general public. While schools are currently closed due to summer holidays, colleges remain functional—creating a major challenge for thousands of students dependent on public transport.

Protests at depots like Jeedimetla Bus Depot have led to reduced bus services, leaving commuters stranded or forced to seek costly alternatives. College students, especially those traveling from outskirts and rural areas, are struggling to attend classes regularly. Many are either missing lectures or spending significantly more on autos and private transport.

The situation is equally difficult for office-goers and daily wage workers, who rely heavily on RTC buses for affordable commuting. With fares of autos and cabs rising due to demand, the financial burden on common people has increased considerably.

Parents and students are expressing frustration, as there is no uniform relief—schools are shut for holidays, but higher education continues without transport support. This imbalance is adding to stress, attendance issues, and academic disruption.

Amid the unrest, K. P. Vivekanand has backed the RTC workers, criticizing the government’s response and urging immediate resolution of their demands.

Until a solution is reached, it is the everyday commuter—particularly college students—who remain the worst affected in this ongoing deadlock.

Big Move by Telangana Govt: Free MMTS Travel from June 2!

Telangana plans free MMTS Hyderabad travel from June 2 to reduce traffic, boost ridership, and transform urban commuting across Hyderabad.

Published

By

In a major step towards improving urban mobility, the Telangana government is planning to introduce free travel on the MMTS Hyderabad network starting June 2, marking Telangana Formation Day.

After the success of free bus travel for women in Telangana, this new proposal takes things a step further — free train travel for ALL passengers, regardless of gender. If implemented, Hyderabad will become the first city in India to offer free rides on a suburban rail system.

The state has already approached the South Central Railway, which has responded positively in principle. The next step involves drafting detailed guidelines and signing an MoU to make this vision a reality.

đź’ˇ Why this matters:

  • đźš— Reduce traffic congestion in Hyderabad
  • 🚉 Boost usage of the underutilized MMTS network
  • 🌱 Promote eco-friendly public transport
  • ⏱️ Offer affordable and efficient daily commuting

Officials believe this initiative could be a game-changer, encouraging people to shift from private vehicles to public transport — just like the impact seen with TSRTC buses.

📢 If rolled out as planned, this could redefine urban travel not just in Hyderabad, but set a model for cities across India.
