Vasco Bus Operators Blame NHAI Contractor for Dangerous Road Conditions

Bus operators in Vasco have raised serious concerns over the worsening state of the city’s roads, attributing the issue to the ongoing flyover construction carried out by the National Highways Authority of India (NHAI) contractor. They allege that a lack of regular maintenance and the presence of large potholes along key routes have turned daily travel into a major safety risk, particularly for passenger buses.

Drivers report that navigating these deteriorated stretches is not only endangering commuters but also taking a toll on their vehicles. “We are forced to drive through roads riddled with potholes and loose gravel. It's dangerous, especially during rush hour,” said one operator. Many fear that the upcoming monsoon will worsen the situation, increasing the chances of accidents and vehicle damage.

Despite repeated complaints to both the NHAI contractor and local civic authorities, operators claim that no meaningful action has been taken. They are calling for urgent intervention to repair and maintain the affected roads before the situation spirals further out of control.

Several operators have warned that if the conditions do not improve soon, they may be left with no option but to suspend services on the most severely impacted routes. Such a move would cause major inconvenience to thousands of daily commuters who depend on bus transport in and around Vasco.

The operators are now appealing to authorities to act swiftly and ensure the safety of both passengers and drivers.
