Kolkata and Howrah Face Bus Shortage as 2,185 Vehicles Taken Off Roads in 2024

Credited from: INDIATIMES

  • Kolkata and Howrah lost over 2,000 buses in 2024, worsening public transport issues, highlighted in a meeting by Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee.
  • A total of 2,185 buses went off the roads last year, while only 154 new buses were registered in the cities.
  • Key routes are at risk, with 20 bus routes potentially shutting down within 8-10 months due to operator reluctance to replace aging vehicles.
  • Commuters face increased wait times, particularly after dusk, as many buses stop services simultaneously.
  • Operators report the need for financial assistance to manage the high costs of replacing outdated buses to improve service delivery.
