Summary:
There should be 10 acres for the bus stand, so we were searching for the appropriate place.” However, due to non-availability of land in the locality to establish a bus depot, about 60 buses have been travelling extra 13km per day to Tirupur I and Tirupur II depots near Kangeyam Road. The city corporation should set up a depot which would reduce diesel expenditure of the TNSTC.”Corporation commissioner K Sivakumar told TOI, “In case of Kovilvazhi bus stand proposal, the civic body could not find any land in that locality. Another 25 buses are being stationed at Palladam, Kangeyam and Dharapuram depots.“The buses which are bound to Palladam, Kangeyam and Dharapuram depots would have to take empty trips due to the absence of depot.
