We, the residents of Pampore Town, are facing immense hardships due to the non-availability of Smart Bus Service during evening hours in winter. The 7A & 7B bus services end their shifts by 6:00–6:30 PM, leaving us stranded with no reliable transportation.
Major Issues Faced:
Students, employees, and salespersons are forced to wait for hours at Jahangir Chowk, Dalgate & Pantha Chowk bypass to reach home.
Elderly persons and women struggle to commute safely in the harsh winter conditions.
Bus drivers are often rude and deliberately keep ACs & heaters on, draining the battery so they can park at depot panthachowk instead of serving passengers.
The depot is just 4 km away from (Kadlabal) Pampore, yet the service is stopped early, causing unnecessary distress to the general public.
We request your kind intervention to extend the service timings till at least 9 PM for Winters and as normal in Summers till 10:30 PM. This will provide relief to thousands of daily commuters.
We hope concerned authorities will take immediate action on this pressing issue.
Sincerely,
Residents of Pampore
