Commuters in Mohali are facing inconvenience after the suspension of local bus operations.
The municipal transport authority in Mohali has stopped all local bus services, leaving daily commuters without their usual mode of travel. The suspension, announced without a specified resumption date, has affected thousands of residents who rely on the buses for work, education and other routine trips.
Passengers report queuing for alternative options such as auto‑rickshaws and private vehicles, leading to longer travel times and higher fares. The sudden halt has also caused crowding at nearby railway stations as commuters shift to trains where possible.
Local officials have been approached for clarification, but no official statement on the cause of the disruption or a timeline for restoration has been released yet. Residents are urging the authorities to resume bus services promptly to ease the mounting inconvenience.
