Mumbai, March 9: In an effort to ensure smooth and safe public transportation in Mumbai and to prevent inconvenience to bus commuters at designated bus stops, the Mumbai Traffic Police carried out a special enforcement drive across the city.
Special enforcement drive across bus stops
As part of the drive, strict action was taken against vehicle owners who had illegally parked their vehicles at bus stops. The special campaign was conducted between February 23, 2026, and March 8, 2026, at various bus stops across Mumbai. Action was initiated through the e-challan system.
Authorities stated that illegal parking at bus stops prevents buses from halting properly and causes significant inconvenience to passengers while boarding and alighting. Such violations also contribute to traffic congestion and increase the risk of accidents.
Thousands of violators penalised
During the campaign, action was taken against violators under the Motor Vehicles Act, 1988, and other relevant rules. A total of 26,462 e-challans were issued against motorists for illegally parking vehicles at bus stops. Through these penalties, a total fine amount of ₹10,51,600 has been recovered.
