Vijayawada: Transport minister Mandipalli Ramprasad Reddy expressed pride over the Andhra Pradesh State Road Transport Corporation (APSRTC) receiving the prestigious Governance Now–Aarogya Digital Transformation Summit Award. He said that it is a matter of great honour for the state.

The minister said in a press release on Saturday that the award reflects APSRTC’s successful adoption of digital technology to improve public service delivery and enhance passenger convenience.

Stating that APSRTC is moving forward in line with Chief Minister N Chandrababu Naidu’s vision, he said the corporation is embracing modern technology to deliver efficient, transparent, and passenger-friendly services.
