Private bus owners on Monday urged Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal to allow their vehicles to ferry school students, seeking permission for buses that are currently open to only a handful of riders in the Capital.
The Delhi Taxi, Tourist Transporters & Tour Operators Association, which represents private bus owners, alleged that not allowing private buses to ply was affecting the families of operators from middle-class households.
“On the one hand, the Government is demanding that we pay road tax on vehicles which have been gathering dust over the last year and a half due to COVID-19 and on the other, it is yet to allow private buses to start operating despite schools having been opened from Monday,” the association’s president, Sanjay Samrat, said.
