Rao, asking whether the double decker bus service could be resumed for tourists or as a public bus itself. Responding to this, Rao tweeted: “I have many fond memories of riding the double decker bus on my way to St. George’s Grammar School at Abids. Not sure why they were taken off the roads. Any chance we can bring them back?”
