Thousands of passengers were left stranded outside Surat city on February 21 after luxury bus operators decided to not enter the city limits in response to a memorandum submitted by MLA Kumar Kanani to the Traffic DCP. The decision caused significant trouble for passengers, who had to pay inflated prices for rickshaws and taxis to reach their destinations.
The fight between Kanani and private bus operators has been a topic of discussion for the past two days. The Surat Luxury Bus Charitable Association agreed with the decision, leading to more than 400 bus operators in the city refusing to enter Surat on February 21. Passengers expressed their frustration and said that the decision has left many women, children, and elders stranded outside the city at odd hours of the day.
The MLA and the private bus operators have been at odds for some time, with the association of private luxury bus operators deciding to not enter the city limits in protest. This move has inconvenienced thousands of passengers, leaving them stranded outside the city with no immediate transportation options available. While the fight between the MLA and the private bus operators continues, the general public is caught in the crossfire and is bearing the brunt of the situation.
