Cyclone Hudhud aftermath: Bus fares or airfares?

From Vishakapatnam to Bangalore, ticket cost is around Rs 5500. From Vishakapatnam to Chennai: Rs 4500, From Vishakapatnam to Hyderabad: Rs 4000.

These are not air fares. Yes, these are the bus fares from Vizag to other major cities.
Following the cyclone Hudhud effect, It opened up an excellent opportunity for private bus operators. They are making a killing by doubling the bus fare.

Vizag was on Wednesday limping back to normalcy with restoration of essential supplies and public transportation services, three days after it was battered by Cyclone Hudhud.
The residents of Visakhapatnam have been reeling under a crisis as electricity and daily need items like milk were not available and communication network had virtually collapsed due to the devastation caused by the cyclone which struck on Sunday.
