Mar 6 at 22:05 comment added Sam Nead @Yousuf - you are confusing the moduli space and the Teichmuller space. The capping off map exists in both settings, and is a fibre bundle in both cases. But the fibre is a configuration space of points in the surface only in moduli space setting.

Mar 6 at 22:00 comment added Yousuf Soliman @Nicolast, that is interesting. Do you have a reference that the fiber is the universal cover?
Mar 6 at 21:54 comment added Sam Nead Yes, the notation $S_{g,n}$ is much more common for the surface.
Mar 6 at 21:54 comment added Nicolast The answer is yes, the forgetful map is a fiber bundle. But its fiber is the universal cover of the configuration space of $n$ points.
Mar 6 at 21:52 comment added Nicolast Not addressing the question but I find the notation $M_{g,n}$ for a surface particularly confusing, given that $\mathcal M_{g,n}$ usually denotes the moduli space of Riemann surfaces.
