    I request the DC to cancel some of the private bus permit & give permission to start government buses. The condition of private buses are pathetic & even worst. We don't want competition. Only service. Like hubli/dharwad, make private buses name it as karanth nagara sarike & remove the invidual name on the front.

    The increase in no. of buses plying increases competition resulting in increase of no.of accidents.Since the area is more covered with schools ,colleges and university buses should run as per the time schedule drawn in accordance with the needs of the passengers.
