Telangana Faces Bus Driver Shortage, Impacting Tourism and Transport

Telangana Faces Bus Driver Shortage, Impacting Tourism and Transport

Imagine buses that take people to different cities or around Hyderabad for fun trips.

There aren't enough people willing to drive these big buses in Telangana.

This is happening because the pay isn't very high, they have to work for many hours, and the taxes on these buses are quite expensive.

Many drivers who are supposed to drive these buses sometimes go to other states for jobs that pay better.

There also aren't enough good schools to teach people how to drive these big vehicles.

Driving these buses requires a lot of patience and attention, especially on long trips.

Because there are fewer drivers, sometimes buses might have only one driver and a cleaner instead of two drivers, which can be risky.

The young people today don't seem very interested in this kind of demanding job, especially when they have to drive a lot without rest during busy times.
