Tahmeed has grounded a bus after passengers discovered bedbugs on the seats. The company became aware of the issue through a video circulating online, showing what seemed to be bedbugs inside bus number KCR 615. Tahmeed confirmed they had identified the affected vehicle and acted swiftly to protect passengers. On July 17, 2026, the company transferred all passengers to another bus to ensure their safety and comfort.
Following this, they grounded KCR 615 and removed all its seats as part of their response to the infestation. The entire bus was then thoroughly sprayed and fumigated to eliminate the bedbugs. Only after inspections confirmed the bus was pest-free did it become available for service again. Tahmeed also announced additional measures to prevent future incidents, such as increasing fumigation frequency across its fleet, stopping the transportation of used bedding, and upgrading seat-cover materials to prevent bedbug infestations.
The company emphasized its commitment to maintaining high hygiene standards, valuing customer feedback to continually improve their service.
