Residents of Talapady and surrounding villages can heave a sigh of relief as city bus operators and toll plaza management on NH 66 at Talapady arrived at an amicable solution with the intervention of the district administration on Thursday.
Dakshina Kannada Bus Operators’ Association President Dilraj Alva told
The Hindu that Deputy Commissioner K.V. Rajendra had called a meeting of all the stakeholders.
The Deputy Commissioner proposed a lump sum of ₹14,000 to be paid by bus operators in advance to Navayuga Udupi Tollway Pvt Ltd., every month so that city buses could cross the toll plaza and make unlimited trips out of the designated bus stand at Talapady. FASTags would suitably recharged upon the payment, he said.

MANGALURU: A meeting of stakeholders convened by deputy commissioner K V Rajendra on Thursday, put an end to the problems of people travelling on Mangaluru-Talapady buses.
Ever since the National Highway toll gate started functioning at Talapady, on the inter-state border, city buses from Mangaluru to Talapady terminated their trips near the toll gate to avoid payment of toll. The National Highways Authority of India (NHAI) is offering monthly passes, but the city buses from Mangaluru to Talapady have been cutting short trips before the toll gate, to avoid paying toll. As a result, people, including children and the elderly, are made to walk for nearly half-a-kilometre to the Talapady bus stand, located on the southern side of the toll gate.

Private city buses plying between State Bank and Talapady had stopped crossing the toll plaza of the National Highways Authority of India (NHAI) to reach Talapady village as the operators were asked to pay regular toll charges.
