Bus operators denounce ban on standing travel Updated: Updated: It is impractical and not financially viable, they say Share Article It is impractical and not financially viable, they say The All Kerala Bus Operators Organisation has denounced the State government’s decision banning standing travel in buses as impractical and not financially viable. Passengers occupy almost all seats in buses at bus stations. Curbs on standing travel will adversely affect passengers awaiting buses at bus stops. Avoiding students depending on buses to attend examinations and office-goers / workers will give rise to criticism and even conflict with passengers, said T. Gopinathan, general secretary of the organisation.
