NEW DELHI, Aug 11: In what can be termed as a big morale boost to the state transport service that Arunachal Pradesh State Transport Service (APSTS) has been awarded as Best Performing North Eastern State Road Transport Undertaking (SRTU) in National Public Transport Excellence Award 2017 function held at Manekshaw Centre New Delhi on Friday. The two-day international conference cum award function was being organised by Association of State Road Transport Undertakings (ASRTU).
APSTS General Manager Abu Tayeng has received the award and citation on behalf of the APSTS. The state transport service has been chosen for the award for its stellar performance and innovative ideas in improving the state’s public transport service despite fund constraints.
The APSTS has been launching several Tata Sumos for far flung areas and circle headquarters across the state especially where Bus service is not possible. In order to make ease passengers, the state transport is launching e-ticketing Apps for easier and friendlier ticketing.
While appreciating the hard work put in by STUs for the recognition, APSTS GM Abu Tayeng stated that without the support of Chief Minister cum Transport Minister this award wouldn’t be possible.
