TSRTC Upgrades Ticket Machines to Implement Zero-Cost Tickets for Women

13 Dec 2023 CW Team

TSRTC officials are working tirelessly to upgrade over 13,000 ticket issuing machines (TIMS) across the state to implement the recently announced free bus travel scheme for women passengers. This ambitious initiative marks a significant step towards promoting inclusivity and affordability in public transportation.

The new zero-cost tickets will not only offer free travel but also capture valuable data, including passenger details, travel information, and the actual ticket price (billed at zero). This data will be crucial for analyzing travel patterns of female passengers, identifying preferred routes, and understanding peak and slack hours.

To ensure a smooth transition and avoid disruptions in existing ticketing operations, TSRTC is systematically updating the TIMS depot-wise. This requires overnight software updates for each machine, a testament to the dedication and meticulous planning involved in this project.

The automatic generation of management information system reports for the zero tickets is another innovative step. This will provide valuable insights into the usage of the free travel scheme, allowing TSRTC to optimize routes, schedules, and resource allocation based on real-time data.

Overall, the optimization of 13,000 TIMS for free women's bus travel in Telangana is a remarkable feat of technological advancement and logistical coordination. By utilizing data-driven solutions and demonstrating unwavering commitment to public service, TSRTC sets a commendable example for other public transport authorities in the country.
