BENGALURU: Shivakumar, who owns Channapatna-based Jathin Travels, had a fleet of 25 buses but now runs only two.
The pandemic has hit hard, and he has surrendered permits of the other buses because of low demand. Restrictions like night and weekend curfew have not helped either. “People are not travelling and financiers are harassing us if we delay paying EMIs,” Shivakumar said. “Besides, there is tough competition from KSRTC. ”
