He informed that the State government has released Rs 150 crore in the budget for the RTC to purchase 400 Pallevelugu buses and 100 others. On the occasion, he appealed to the agitating RTC employees to call off their strike immediately and cooperate with government. He said if government accepts the 43 per cent fitment, the corporation should increase the bus fares up to 40 per cent, which would not be affordable by the people.
