With the State government imposing night curfew to curb the spread of COVID-19, private omni buses that usually operate in the night have been seeing poor patronage during the day. At the Omni Bus Terminus in Gandhipuram within Coimbatore Corporation limits, scores of omni buses remained parked and only a few were operated on Wednesday. “We had only one service to Tiruchendur on Tuesday before the night curfew came to force,” R. Baskaran, president of Tamil Nadu Omni Bus Owners Association (Coimbatore) and an omni bus operator with 35 buses, said on Wednesday. Many of the omni buses were cancelled at the last minute on Monday owing to poor occupancy, he added.
