Mumbai's Unused Buses Amidst Commuter Crisis: A Closer Look

Mumbai's Unused Buses Amidst Commuter Crisis: A Closer Look

Many people in Mumbai are having a hard time getting around on buses.

The city has about 100 mini-buses that aren't being used, even though they could help.

The company that was supposed to run those buses broke the rules, so the city canceled the contract.

Now, a union is saying the city relies too much on private companies.

They want the city to control the buses so things can improve.

They say there aren't enough drivers, conductors, and mechanics, which makes things unsafe.
