Following a story published in mid-day on July 5, highlighting the suspension of KDMT's AC bus services due to unpaid insurance, the services have now resumed after nearly a month. The buses were off the roads since June 30 as the contractor had failed to clear insurance dues, leaving regular commuters inconvenienced.

On Thursday evening, the contractor cleared the insurance payments, and charging of buses began at Vasant Valley depot in Kalyan West. On Friday, a total of four AC buses were brought back into service, two each in Kalyan and Dombivli. More buses will be added gradually, according to KDMT officials.

Currently, Bus No. 55 (Bajiprabhu Chowk to Nivasi Vibhag, fare Rs 10) and Bus No. 51 (Baji Prabhu Chowk to Casario/Palava, fare R15) is running in Dombivli. In Kalyan, two AC buses are operating on the ring route in clockwise and anti-clockwise directions.
