The Madras High Court has upheld a new mini bus scheme implemented by the Tamil Nadu government. The scheme was established with the objective of addressing the ‘last mile connectivity’ challenge, particularly for areas that have remained largely unserved despite over seven decades since India’s independence. The court reviewed the proposal, deeming it a viable path to improve accessibility and reduce geographical disparities within the state. The ruling confirms the government’s intention to expand transportation options, focusing on regions with limited infrastructure. The initiative will likely involve a phased rollout of mini buses to facilitate greater movement and economic opportunities for underserved communities.
