Panaji, May 14 (TOI): Kadamba Transport Corporation has restarted its airport shuttle service for the third time. The service was previously suspended due to poor response. There was also a huge uproar from the taxi associations regarding the service.
The air conditioned Volvo coach will take passengers from Dabolim to Calangute via Panaji. The ticket to Panaji is Rs 100 and to Calangute Rs 150 per head. The bus will leave the airport at 1.30pm. The bus was flagged off by KTC chairman Carlos Almeida, in the presence of airport director B C H Negi.
On why the initiative was restarted, Almeida said, "It was a demand of the tourism department and the airport director. So we decided to restart it."
With airport authorities putting up signs about the bus and making announcements of the same at the terminal, the response from passengers has been significantly better.
