Rayalseema, Palle Velugu/Telugu Velugus are suspended from their normal trips to villages and made to run between cities as express buses. And the express buses on these routes are given special permit and run between Bengaluru and Ananthapur/Kadiri/Hindupur/Kadapa/Chittoor. All buses charge extra. Govt. too tries to make a quick buck like private travels :)
