Mangaluru: Dakshina Kannada District Bus Owners’ Association President Dilraj Alva said that they have decided not to operate buses till the month-end.

Speaking after the announcement by the district administration permitting operating of buses on weekdays between 7 am and 2 pm, he said that the bus owners have decided not to operate buses from June 23 as functioning with 50% passenger capacity rule is not a favorable given the current price of the diesel. And also we are not thinking of operating the bus until month month-end in order to avoid paying tax for the whole month, he said.

Also, the road works being undertaken in the city is an impediment for smooth operations as buses may have to ply through alternative routes further causing unnecessary expenditure. Further, servicing buses are also due, which will be take up during this time, he explained.

The new guidelines issued by the district administration permits the movement of buses in the district on weekdays from 7 am to 2 pm from June 23 except on weekend curfew days.
