Several school bus associations faced a difficult time this morning due to the currency chaos, as many educational institutions resumed sessions today, after the Diwali break. School transport service providers are complaining that their services may be hit, as the general practice among these transporters is to make cash payments and payment has been a problem at many petrol pumps, they said.

As buses had not been refuelled during the Diwali break, several school transport providers made a run for petrol pumps last night.
