KTC halts buses to 11 routes from Goa

PANAJI: The Kadamba Transport Corporation limited (KTC) has suspended interstate buses on 11 routes owing to the lack of load factor due to lesser passengers. These are buses to Mumbai, Pune, Shirdi, Solhapur, Kolhapur, Sawantwadi, Vengurla, Malvan among other destinations.
Besides the poor response, restrictions imposed by the Maharashtra government on people travelling to their state from Goa also has pushed KTC to anticipate a further lack of load factor leading them to temporarily suspend the services from Wednesday night onwards.
“The number of passengers is starting to decrease now that they must mandatorily have a Covid check,” general manager, Sanjay Ghate said.
