Chennai, November 10, 2025: Omni bus services from Tamil Nadu to neighbouring states, particularly Kerala, came to a halt from today after Kerala enforced steep penalties on out-of-state private buses for alleged permit and tax violations. Operators in Tamil Nadu have suspended interstate services, citing the fines as excessively high and financially unviable for continued operations.
The sudden suspension has caused inconvenience to passengers, especially daily commuters and weekend travellers, with many reporting last-minute cancellations and higher ticket prices on alternative routes. Bus operators’ associations have urged both state governments to hold urgent talks to resolve the issue, warning that prolonged disruption may severely impact interstate travel and tourism ahead of the festive season.
