As a part of a pilot project, Telangana State Road Transport Corporation (TSRTC) buses will be fitted with tracking systems that are linked to the display boards at bus stops. This will help to provide information to passengers about where the bus is, and how long it will take for it to reach the particular stop. Transport minister P Mahendar Reddy and TSRTC officials are known to have discussed about the pilot project with a delegation from France recently. The tracking system, as part of the intelligent transport system, is claimed to be a part of the MoU signed by the Telangana State state with France in November 2016. As part of the agreement for the Rs 20 crore pilot project, France will provide the technology and know how. The tracking systems will be fitted in 40 buses on popular routes such as 115 B, 115C, 113M, 113W, 113K and 113L. Buses plying on several other routes will also be fitted with tracking systems at a later date. Bus stops will be installed with solar-powered displays at Koti, Mehdipatnam and other important junctions to provide provide accurate information on the location of buses fitted with the tracking systems. After evaluating for a few months, the project, based on its performance, is ikely to be extended to all the bus services in Hyderabad.
