Hyderabad: Double decker buses, once a tourist attraction, are set to stage a comeback on the roads of Hyderabad.
Originally introduced by the Nizam’s Transport Services during the reign of the last Nizam Mir Osman Ali Khan in the 1940s, double decker buses were taken off the road in the 1990s by Andhra Pradesh State Road Transport Corporation.
But now the prospects of their return have brightened with the Telangana State Road Transport Corporation (TSRTC) calling for tenders for providing 15 double decker buses for its Hyderabad operations.
Showing keen interest in the project, the TSRTC has also convened a pre-bidding meeting with interested parties for discussion on all the aspects of the project.
