Telangana State Road Transport Corporation (TSRTC) will introduce AC sleeper buses for the first time with high-tech features for the comfort of passengers.
In the first phase, 16 AC sleeper buses will be used. These buses, which are intended to compete with private buses, will be available to passengers beginning Monday.
These 16 new AC sleeper buses will be operated by the Corporation on routes of Bengaluru and Hubli in Karnataka, Visakhapatnam and Tirupati in Andhra Pradesh, and Chennai in Tamil Nadu.
With the goal of providing better and more quality services to passengers, the corporation recently launched new super luxury 630 buses, 8 non-AC sleeper cum seater buses, and 4 non-AC sleeper buses.
The corporation said that these buses are getting a good response from people. “It is in this context that the management of TSRTC has decided to make available new AC sleeper buses with state-of-the-art facilities to reach more people going to distant places. Like the non-AC sleeper buses, the AC sleeper buses are christened as ‘Lahari-Ammaodi Anubhuthi’,” a press release informed.
The new AC sleeper buses will be inaugurated on Monday at 9.30 a.m. on the Vijayawada route in LB Nagar, Hyderabad.
Telangana transport minister Puvvada Ajay Kumar will be present as the chief guest and will flag off the new buses. TSRTC Chairman, MLA Bajireddy Govardhan, TSRTC MD VC Sajjanar, IPS and other high officials are attending this program.
Free Wi-Fi, panic button facilities
TSRTC stated that the latest technology has been added for the first time to the AC sleeper buses that are being introduced.
The buses have been outfitted with a tracking system and a panic button to ensure the safety of the passengers. They will be linked to TSRTC’s control room. The TSRTC control room will be notified by pressing the panic button if the passengers face any problems. Officials will respond and take action quickly through this information.

The 12-meter-long AC sleeper buses have a capacity of 30 berths with lower 15 and upper. At the berths, there will be a water bottle facility along with a mobile charging facility. Each berth has a reading lamp installed. These buses also provide free Wi-Fi access.
The details of the destinations are displayed on LED display boards in the front and back of the bus. The buses are equipped with security cameras and a reverse parking assistance camera for the safety of the passengers. A cutting-edge Fire Detection and Alarm System (FDAS) was installed. When a fire breaks out in the bus, it immediately sends out an alert. The new AC sleeper buses will have a public address system to convey information to the passengers.
