The QR-code system, initially introduced in premium luxury buses, was later expanded following its response from passengers. GSRTC said QR codes are now displayed at 125 bus stations, depot control points and in more than 8,000 buses across the state.
The Passenger Feedback Report for the period between March 1 and June 19, 2026, was based on responses from 3,13,824 passengers and reflected a high level of satisfaction with the corporation's services across key operational parameters.
