Chennai: With the Tamilnadu government continuing to relax lockdown restrictions, public bus transportation is likely to resume in the State from the coming week in the 27 districts where the Covid caseload has reduced.
With the demand for public transport getting more intense, Metropolitan Transport Corporation (MTC) and other state-run transport corporatins might resume government bus services from Monday but with restrictions.
According to sources, oral instructions have been given to get at least 50 per cent of the town bus fleet ready for operation from next week.
The Tamilnadu government recently extended the lockdown in the state by another week, which will end on 21 June. This extension came with a few relaxations applicable to 27 districts in the state excluding districts like Coimbatore, Thanjavur and nine others where the Covid-19 caseload continues to remain high.
