The Omni Buses Association has decided to withdraw the buses from operation after the state transport commissionerate declined to extend the deadline beyond Monday for re-registering the vehicles in Tamil Nadu and said it would confiscate the buses for permit violations.
The commissionerate had earlier extended the deadline from June 14 to June 18, keeping in mind the increased demand for omni buses and the bookings that were already made for the Bakrid weekend. With the weekend getting over, the impact of 800 of the roughly 2,400 omni buses plying in the state taken off road was not immediately felt. However, the reduction in the number of buses can potentially lead to an increase in fares in other omni buses over the coming weekend.
