The Himachal Road Transport Corporation (HTRC) resumed operations on 1,226 routes.
The Himachal Road Transport Corporation (HTRC) resumed operations on 1,226 routes, around 30 per cent of the total routes it operates on in the state, today, after over a month. Public transport was suspended last month, when the government imposed a curfew to check the spread of Covid-19.
Of the total routes resumed, 1007 were local routes and 219 were long intra-district routes, said Regional Manager DS Negi.
The bus services have been resumed with 50 per cent occupancy. The driver, conductors and passengers have been asked to adhere to the Covid protocol.
The resumption of bus services has brought a huge relief to a vast section of the society that does not own private vehicles.
“I was stuck at home, ever since the buses were suspended. I work in a courier company in Shimla, but had no means of reaching the city, in the absence of bus services. With the resumption of bus services, I could resume my job,” said Krishan Kumar from Jubbarhatti.
Meanwhile, some private operators also plied their buses, despite the state Private Bus Operators’ Union’s decision to continue their strike and keep their fleet off the road.
“We have to pay salaries to our drivers and conductors. They cannot sustain their families without getting paid,” said Vivek Sharma, a private bus operator from Shimla.
“Everyone is suffering at the moment, and we should help each other. We agree to the demands of our union, but this is not the time for an indefinite strike,” he said.
