In addition, 80 special buses have been arranged to run from 14 other places to the venue. All these special buses, coming from Dilsukhnagar and Afzalgunj, will allow passengers to alight at Gandhi Bhavan and then proceed to Exhibition Grounds. They are to start at Dilsukhnagar (7), NGOS Colony (7), Midhani (7), Uppal (7), Charminar (5), Golconda (5), Ramnagar (5), Rajendranagar (7), Risala Bazar (5), ECIL X Roads (5), Patancheru (5), Jeedimetla (5), KPHB Colony (5), and Gachibowli (50).

Regular buses, coming from Dilsukhnagar and Afzalgunj and operated via GPO to Nampally and beyond, will also be operated via Gandhi Bhavan on the return trip.

The TGSRTC decided to arrange buses as the fish prasadam distribution venue as it draws thousands of asthma patients who believe consuming the prasadam can alleviate their condition. The TGSRTC will set up special counters to address public issues at several places in the city such as Kacheguda railway station, Secunderabad railway station, MGBS, JBS and Exhibition Grounds.
