₹495 cr loss attributed to shortage of bus crew, but hundreds used for other work
The New Indian Express
|December 11, 2024
THE cancellation of scheduled trips due to shortage of crew to operate buses has resulted in the State Transport Undertakings (STUs) in Tamil Nadu reporting a total revenue loss of ₹495.27 crore from 2017-18 to 2021-22.
A report of the office of Comptroller and Auditor General tabled in the Assembly on Tuesday, however, revealed that hundreds of bus drivers and conductors, eligible to operate buses, were not being utilised and instead diverted for other work. The audit was conducted in four STUs across the state.
The report said the official numbers furnished by these four STUs regarding the crew engaged in activities other than the operation of buses were significantly lower than the numbers assessed by the CAG.
