Putting an end to the long delay in operating bus services on the newly constructed Ananda Bridge, the district administration has notified the route in the district gazette.
The order number 1949/2015 (C-3) dated February 23, 2015 by the District Collector K. Maharabushanam, said that even after the completion of the bridge buses from Old Bus Stand to Veeranam and Ayothiapattanam pass through Head Post Office, Henry House First Agraharam, Rajaganapathi Temple, Kamala Hospital, Second Agraharam, DMS, Sand Market and Ponammapet Gate leading to frequent traffic congestions and inconvenience to the common public.
New route
Hence, city buses should ply through Head Post Office, Henry House, Valluvar Statue, Rajaji Statue, Collectorate, Bretts Road, Mulvadi Gate, Cherry Road, Town Railway Station, Ananda Bridge, Second Agraharam, DMS, Sand Market and Ponammapet to reach the destinations.
Private bus operators were refusing to operate along the bridge citing additional expenses.
