The people from Anjuna and Arpora village are facing lots of inconvenience due to the lack of passenger bus service from Anjuna to Mapusa via Arpora for the past three years. The people are demanding at least a Kadamba Transport service on this route as soon as possible. Approximately 4-kilometre stretch of public road from Anjuna to Arpora is lacking passenger bus service to go to Mapusa city. Therefore, the public have to walk at least one and a half kilometres to board passenger buses on the Chapora and Calangute routes.
Earlier, three private buses were plying on this route, which were convenient for the public. But suddenly, three years ago, all three buses disappeared from the route, causing lots of inconvenience to the general public of this vicinity. Especially, the public from Sim-Anjuna, Simwado, Mainat Bhati, Kudachwado, and Sankwadi Arpora are facing bus transportation problems.
The public, therefore, demand a KTC bus service on this route in case private buses are discontinued for any reason. Bus service is very important for the economically weaker section of society. Some years ago, two passenger bus services were in operation: one was from Arpora to Mapusa via Parra-Aradi, and the other was from Baga-Sankwadi to Mapusa via Arpora Tinto. A third route was from Anjuna Beach to Mapusa via Arpora. However, all three routes currently have no passenger buses.
