Kerala's transport authorities have announced a new policy allowing private bus operators to adjust their schedules during peak hours, aiming to reduce traffic congestion and improve safety.
Kerala's transport authorities have rolled out a new regulation that permits private bus operators to modify their departure times during peak hours.
The move aims to eliminate the common practice of buses arriving en masse at major junctions, which has long contributed to traffic snarls and safety concerns.
Under the new guidelines, operators can adjust schedules within a specified time window, allowing for a more even distribution of buses on the roads.
Transport officials say the policy will ease congestion, improve travel times for commuters, and reduce the risk of accidents caused by sudden bus clustering.
