Digital timetables at bus stops
by Mohammed NAALIR
The Private Transport Services Ministry has decided to fix digital
timetables at bus stops. These timetables will be displayed
round-the-clock at the bus stops for the convenience of a large number
of passengers who travel daily, Ministry sources said. Minister C.B.
Ratnayake took this decision following a request made by private bus
operators during a discussion held at the Ministry recently between the
Minister and private bus operators.
Various problems in private bus operations were brought to the
attention of the Minister during the meeting. Taking legal action
against drivers who violate the CTB-private joint timetable was
discussed in depth. The Ministry has also decided to deploy a separate
team to check the tickets issued in private buses, according to Ministry
sources.
