Dakshina Kannada Bus Owners’ Association president Dilraj Alva said, “Technically, private bus operators are not able to operate services as all of us have surrendered our permits. If we start services we will have to pay the tax for an entire month. Hence, we have decided to resume bus services from June 1.”
