TSRTC's Gamyam app put real-time GPS tracking and a nighttime stop-anywhere safety feature on thousands of Hyderabad buses in 2023 — but no one outside TSRTC has checked if the tracking stays live.
what does this mean?
The strongest source is the operator's or the city's own reporting — an official report, dataset or press release. It grades who did the looking — not how well the project went.

Telangana State Road Transport Corporation (TSRTC) launched the Gamyam app on 12 August 2023, giving Hyderabad bus riders GPS-based real-time locations and arrival estimates — starting with Pushpak airport and express services and expanding to the wider Hyderabad City and District fleet within weeks. New buses carry onboard GPS units, CCTV and panic buttons; the app also has a women's-safety 'Flag a Bus' feature letting riders request a stop anywhere between 7pm and 6am, plus an SOS button linked to Dial 100/108. By 2024 TSRTC said tracking covered around 4,170 buses, though no independent audit of GPS uptime or app usage has been published.
🎓 Lesson
A real-time tracking app is only as trustworthy as its GPS uptime, and no source outside the operator has checked that yet.
