Kadamba Transport Corporation Ltd has made a statement before the High Court of Bombay at Goa that it has commenced operation of additional bus trips from Agnel College, Assagao to Mapusa and back.
A PIL, filed by Radhakrishna Vijay Salgaonkar, highlights rampant and life-threatening illegal over boarding of private buses, KTC buses, and Bal Rath buses on the Anjuna-Assagao-Mapusa route, especially, during peak hours when students and senior citizens travel.
A statement was made before the High Court by a counsel for the KTC that every attempt is being made to deploy some more buses on the said route so as to ease the mode of transport, since realising that it is a busy route and at particularly busy hours, it requires more conveyance.
He assured High Court that upon having discussions with all those involved which shall also include the PIL Writ Petitioner, by giving him an advance intimation of the meeting to be held, some solution will be arrived at.
High Court had directed the Transport Department to complete its survey of overcrowding in buses and work with Kadamba Transport Corporation Limited (KTC) to devise a plan to ease peak-hour traffic.
