The Sri Lanka Transport Board (SLTB) is planning to buy 500 new buses
this year.
SLTB Chairman M.D. Bandusena said most buses are to be put on routes
which buses do not ply.
Top priority would be accorded to long distance services, he said.
The Treasury earlier provided funds to the SLTB to buy buses.
SLTB funds will be utilized to buy buses this time, Bandusena said.
It also targets to enhance the operational fleet of 4,500 buses to
6,000 before the year end, the Chairman told the Daily News. |
