Chalo bus app to discontinue its services in Mangaluru from August 20
Mangaluru: Navi-Mumbai based transport services company Chalo which enabled bus customers to track any bus live and see its live arrival time, has announced its exit from Mangaluru pertaining to not meeting benchmarks, according to an announcement on its official app.
The services which were launched in Mangaluru in February 2019, became widely popular among college going students. The app operates its services across 22 cities including Mangaluru. Alongside a mobile ticket, it had also introduced the Chalo bus pass, a NFC touch-to-pay card which could store a wallet and multi-trip tickets (e.g. monthly pass). The company also announced various offers in partnership with the Dakshina Kannada district bus operators association.
“We will be discontinuing Chalo App services in your city from 20 August 2023 because we haven't been able to meet the service benchmarks, we've set for ourselves,” read a statement displayed on the Chalo bus app interface stating its departure from Mangaluru city.

Trump says he ‘hasn’t even thought about’ continuing Iran ceasefire
Washington: US President Donald Trump has said he has not yet considered whether he would continue the ceasefire involving Iran, while also claiming the United States holds the advantage in negotiations.
Speaking to reporters, Trump said he was prepared to make a deal with “whoever is running the show” in Iran.
“They are fighting with each other, there’s tremendous infighting. They’re probably fighting for leadership in many cases. I think they’re fighting not to be leader because we knocked out two levels of leaders,” he said.
Trump added, “When they want they can call me. We have all the cards, we’ve won everything.”
Referring to ongoing negotiations, he said, “They gave us a paper that should’ve been better. And, interestingly, immediately when I cancelled it [envoy trip to Pakistan], within 10 minutes we got a new paper that was much better.”
“We talked about they will not have a nuclear weapon, very simple … They offered a lot, but not enough,” he added.
When asked whether he would continue the ceasefire, Trump replied, “I haven’t even thought about it.”
The remarks come as uncertainty remains over the future of the temporary truce and broader negotiations between Washington and Tehran.
