Occupancy Ratio doubled in the last two months in Vizag region, say officials
With the COVID-19 cases seeing a decline in almost all parts of the State and after the curfew relaxations, APSRTC buses plying from the Visakhapatnam region are getting reasonably good patronage from passengers. The Occupancy Ratio (OR) of buses running across various areas doubled in the past two months. During May and June this year, the OR was hovering around 35% with the increase in the cases and restricted timings due to curfew. By August, the region saw a gradual increase in the number of passengers boarding RTC buses and the current OR was hovering around 70%, said RTC Regional Manager M.Y. Danam.More Related News
