New uniform for SLTB crew
Irangika RANGE
The Transport Authority has decided to introduce a new uniform for
conductors and drivers of the Sri Lanka Transport Board (SLTB).
Transport Deputy Minister Rohana Kumara Dissanayake said making
uniforms compulsory will make both drivers and conductors act in a more
responsible manner towards their commuters.
He said that the main objective of this program is to make the
transport sector more professional. This would also make conductors and
drivers realize that their jobs are well accepted in society, he said.
"All drivers and conductors employed in SLTB buses across the country
should wear uniforms.
"This will help commuters to easily identify them," he said. "The
discipline of drivers and conductors would be improved through this
decision," Dissanayake said.
