Sending parcels through RTC buses

Different states have started cargo services using the RTC bus network. The state governments are now building an infrastructure in the world of transportation where cargo services can be provided hand-in-hand with the bus services to the passengers. Therefore, the government decided to offer cargo services along with the travel service given to the passengers.

Currently, service providers are not providing the option of carrying parcels from one place to another. Therefore, make sure that you check if the bus you want to go forward with for transporting your package provides the cargo services. These services are giving additional revenue to the state governments and helping them in expanding the business of RTC buses. This added revenue stream will allow the RTC buses to compensate for the losses incurred during the pandemic.
