Nagpur: With the ‘Break Chain’ limit that allows companies in the city to remain open only until 4pm, Nagpur Municipal Corporation (NMC) has limited the Aapli bus timing.
Starting at 6am to 10pm, city bus services only operate until 7:00 p.m.
This step has made passengers, especially workers from industrial areas such as Butibori, Hingna, Kalmeshwar etc.

At such times, NMC must support us by providing bus services on all routes,” said Resident Pardi Mahesh Dukre who worked in Hingna MIDC.

Many buses are crowded with passengers standing in it.

NMC should be spent on the welfare of Nagpurians.
Instead of thinking about it as a business, NMC must run the bus as a service to citizens,” said passenger The factors and comfort of these passengers are considered before limiting bus services.
By operating only 50% of the bus (200 operates at this time), citizens are forced to use private vehicles, thus increasing costs for fuel costs.

This causes gasoline criminal waste and human life at stake due to the attitude of the civil body,” said Ojas.Additional Commissioner of Jalaj Sharma said that the Aapli bus timing was limited because of the state government guidelines.
“If other cities like Mumbai and Pune run the city bus service late at night, NMC will review timings,” he said.
