Amaravati, Feb 4 : The Andhra Pradesh State Road Transport Corporation (APSRTC) has teamed up with the Tirumala Tirupati Devasthanams (TTD) to make available up to 1,000 ‘darshanam’ (deity visit) tickets to devotees reaching the famous temple on its buses for convenience.
“Along with the fare, people who reach Tirupati on APSRTC buses can pay an additional Rs 300 in the bus itself and buy the darshanam tickets,” APSRTC vice-chairman and managing director R.P. Thakur said on Thursday.
