This route was very significant to connect Mullarpatna to many places including BC Road, Kaikamba, Pulali, Kateel, Moodbidri, Mangaluru, and Kuppepadavu. But due to the collapse of the bridge, the vehicular movement in this part was paralysed. Following which the KSRTC bus service from BC Road to Mangaluru has been kicked off to facilitate the people of this are based on the demands of Deputy Commissioner and public representatives. In all, two buses will ply in the morning and evening hours.
