Control rooms are also established in all the depots. These control rooms will be managed by DSP rank officer from the police department," he added.Kumar said that the bus ticket price list and contact numbers of the control rooms will be displayed behind the driver's seat."If anyone collects more than the ticket price, passengers can contact the phone numbers and lodge their complaint. Since all the educational institutions will be opened from October 14, buses will be run on schedule," he said.In every depot, the tour schedule will be the same, as the one existed before the RTC workers strike. This will be implemented from Friday.Puvvada Ajay also instructed that all categories of passes like students, employees, journalists, differently-abled, should be allowed and no one should complain that their passes were not honored.According to Kumar, 3,116 RTC buses, 1,933 Private buses along with some other vehicles were running on the roads on Wednesday."Based on the rush these two days, more vehicles will be put into action.
