Loading ...GMR Hyderabad International Airport Limited (GHIAL), which is developing the Rajiv Gandhi International Airport in Shamshabad, has awarded airport shuttle bus service concession to Shree Raj Travels & Tours Limited for a period of seven years.
The company release said here on Thursday that 92 per cent of the work on the airport project was complete. Once the airport is commissioned on March 16, 2008, 125 air-conditioned airport shuttle buses will ferry passengers to the airport at 15-minute intervals during peak hours and at 30-minute intervals at non-peak times. The price per trip is expected to be below Rs. 100, as the exact price is yet to be finalised.
There will be over 75 dedicated airport shuttle buses that will carry the passengers to and from the airport from 15 designated locations in the city. Another 50 airport shuttle buses will be deployed for the transportation of airport staff as well. The airport staff may get a bus pass for a lesser price.
These buses will have Wi-Fi facilities for passengers to access e-mails and Internet. Fitted with modern vehicle tracking system, Flight Information Display Systems (FIDS), and on-board entertainment system, these air-conditioned buses will also offer food and beverage options, besides ample luggage space for passengers.
