Decisions
29. Bad Condition Of Bus-terminal.
⢠Gujarat's most dense ST Terminal, you'll hardly find any
platform unoccupied by bus. there are only fourteen
platforms and the total area of terminal is too small that it is
currently unable to handle the large flow of commuters.
sometimes even traffic jams occurs internally between
buses.
31. ďą Purchase of additional buses to replace the old fleet which are in bad conditions.
ď§
Introducing luxury coaches in the inter-state routes with modern passenger amenities
like reclining seats, facilities for movie screening, etc, to increase the revenue mix.
ďą Customer focus demonstrated by e-ticketing, return reservation on concession,
well-trained and courteous staff, etc.
ďą Critically review the economic feasibility of routes operated in the rural area.
ďą Lobby with the government to enact a legislation by which the burden of serving
rural routes and providing concessional fare-based service is shared by private
operators as well.
ďą Outsource rural routes to jobless youth with clear monitoring mechanism and an
attractive incentive structure (minimum payment, incentive based earning, etc.)
Consequently, GSRTC can focus its operations on long distance and heavy traffic
routes.
