The iconic double-decker buses are all set to make a comeback soon in Hyderabad. These busses were a common sight in Hyderabad since the Nizam’s generation and were phased out in the late 1990’s.
The iconic double-decker buses are all set to make a comeback soon in Hyderabad. These busses were a common sight in Hyderabad since the Nizam’s generation and were phased out in the late 1990’s.
After contemplating a re-launch over the last few months, Telangana State Road Transport Corporation (TSRTC) has invited tenders to bring back the services on a few routes across the city. Tenders have been called for 25 such fully built non-AC intra-city buses. The buses will be propelled by diesel conforming to BS-VI emission standards, Central Motor Vehicle Rules, and Telangana state motor vehicle rules.
“The tenderer shall be well established and must have manufacturing and supply facilities of fully built buses in India. The manufacturer shall have type approvals as per CMV Rules and AIS,” an excerpt from the tender reads. A committee appointed to study the routes has suggested Secunderabad- Patancheru via Balanagar, Secunderabad-Medchal via Suchitra, Koti-Patancheru, CBS-Jeedimetla, and Afzal Gunj-Mehdipatnam as potential routes.
“We have invited tenders from all reputed manufacturers. Once tenders are finalised, all 25 buses will be operated within Greater Hyderabad limits,” said TSRTC chief mechanical engineer Raghunath Rao.
Interested companies have been instructed to send sealed tenders to chief mechanical engineer.
The idea to re-introduce the buses came after IT minister KT Rama Rao responded to a tweet from a youngster going on a nostalgic trip about travelling on double-deckers in his school days. Addressing transport minister Puvvada Ajay Kumar in his tweet, Rao said, “Not sure why they were taken off the roads. Any chance we can bring them back Transport Minister @puvvada_ajay Garu? (sic)”.
TSRTC is scheduled to convene a pre-bidding meeting on February 18.
