On Wednesday, October 7, the Ministry of Infrastructure and Transportation announced that five bus routes would not operate, a continuation of the disruptions that have affected commuters over the past week. The list of cancellations, released early in the morning, was posted on the ministry’s official website and social media channels, allowing transit users to plan alternative routes.

The ministry cited scheduled maintenance on key infrastructure and ongoing repairs of rail connections as the primary reasons for the stoppages. While the exact bus numbers were not disclosed, residents who rely on the affected routes reported delays and increased travel times. Local commuters have expressed frustration, noting the cumulative impact of cancellations that began with four routes on Monday, two on Tuesday, and four again on Thursday.

Transport officials urged motorists to use taxis, rideshare services, or carpooling where possible, and reminded users that the Ministry is working to restore full service as soon as the maintenance work is completed. They also announced that an updated timetable will be published by the end of the week to reflect any changes in bus operations.
