The Senior IPS officer officially assumed his charge at the RTC headquarters located in the NTR administrative block on Friday, marking the beginning of a new era for the state's road transport system.
Focus on Strengthening Public Transport Infrastructure
During his inaugural address, Subramanyam underscored the critical need to bolster public transport across Andhra Pradesh. He highlighted strategic initiatives aimed at modernizing the fleet and enhancing operational efficiency. A key component of this plan involves the introduction of new electric buses to the APSRTC fleet, which is expected to not only reduce environmental impact but also improve service reliability and passenger comfort. By integrating these eco-friendly vehicles, the corporation aims to set a new standard for sustainable public transportation in the region.
Furthermore, Subramanyam emphasized the importance of ensuring the financial stability of the road transport corporation. He pointed out that operational efficiency must be optimized to achieve this goal, which includes streamlining processes, reducing costs, and maximizing revenue streams. This dual focus on innovation and fiscal responsibility is designed to create a robust framework for long-term growth and service excellence.
Call to Action for Officials and Staff
In his remarks, the chief made a heartfelt appeal to all APSRTC officials, urging them to dedicate themselves to strengthening the corporation. He called for diligent and committed service from every member of the team to ensure that the public receives the highest quality of transport services. This collective effort is seen as essential for transforming APSRTC into a model of efficiency and customer satisfaction, aligning with the broader vision of enhancing public mobility and convenience.
The event was attended by several key officials, including ED (Operations) A Appala Raju, Engineering Head GV Ravi Varma, Administration Head KS Brahmananda Reddy, and other senior personnel. Their presence underscored the unified commitment to implementing the new directives and working collaboratively towards the corporation's objectives.
Future Prospects and Passenger Benefits
With these initiatives, passengers can look forward to a more reliable and pleasant travel experience. The emphasis on punctuality aims to reduce delays and improve scheduling accuracy, while the focus on cleanliness seeks to enhance the overall ambiance of buses and terminals. Safety measures will be reinforced to protect commuters, and the introduction of electric buses is expected to offer a smoother, quieter ride with lower emissions.
As APSRTC embarks on this transformative journey under Subramanyam's leadership, the corporation is poised to set new benchmarks in public transport. The integration of advanced technologies and a renewed dedication to passenger-centric services are likely to drive significant improvements, benefiting millions of daily commuters across Andhra Pradesh.
