The Joint Council of Bus Syndicate has decided to run private buses from the next week only on office hours.It has been informed by the organization thatthis decision has been taken because there has not been an increase intheir rates and the rising price of fuel is not helping them in anyway. From Monday, buses will run from 8am to 11pm and from 4pm to 7pm. This will be applicable for places like Kolkata, North and South 24 Parganas. At present, there are six thousand buses in Kolkata and 24 Parganas.
