through the tendering process for the specific routes on which
the requirement exists. The owner is then provided with the
operation's schedule and is expected to make available the bus
(in proper condition & cleanliness as per the agreement)
alongwith the driver. The corporation provides its conductor,
ticket & stationary, bus station and other services for its
operations. The payment is made on the basis of the kilometers
covered, route category and bus type as per the schedule given
