123 Kolkata:The popular 46 route started operating again on Saturday. All the 63 buses are back on the 46, 46A, and 46B routes from airport, Akansa and Derozio College to Esplanade, respectively, said bus owners.
After being shut for three consecutive days, the bus owners held a meeting on Friday late evening, and a unanimous decision to restart services was taken. "This was such a relief. Given that HS exams are set to begin on Monday, we were worried about commuting to the centre," said Uttam Saha from Kestopur, whose son will be appearing in HS exam next week.
TOI reported in its Wednesday edition on this popular north-central route being shut due to a clash between an influential route secretary and his associates and the bus owners.
Titu Saha of the City Suburban Bus Union said that the passengers should always remain the priority.
