BRTC buses started plying on three routes in the southwestern region yesterday 52 days after its operation remained suspended.

Khan Kamal Hossain, Barisal depot manager of Bangladesh Road Transport Corporation (BRTC), said the buses started plying on three routes -- Barisal-Pirojpur-Benapole, Barisal-Satkhira and Barisal-Khulna.

BRTC buses will also start plying on two more routes -- Barisal-Jhalakathi and Barisal-Patharghata-Khulna -- today.

The BRTC suspended its operation on 11 routes on May 14 in the face of opposition from private bus owners.
