Private bus operators complain of loss
The number of buses operated by KSRTC has been increasing daily. Up to 5 p.m. on Saturday, 320 buses were operated in Hassan division. This division has been able to operate buses covering almost all inter-district routes. Rajesh Shetty, Divisional Controller, told The Hindu that more than 1,000 drivers and conductors have returned to work in the division. “We have been able to restore 80% of the total routes.” The continuous efforts to convince the employees to return to work yielded results. The private bus operators, who did make money initially, are facing the heat as KSRTC resumed its operations on key routes. Many private bus operators had heated arguments with KSRTC staff members on running buses to Bengaluru and Mysuru.More Related News
