This is a very good suggestion. Commuters can pay the exact amount and need no arguments with conductors over balance not returned. And the machines for card readers should be made compulsory in all the buses. Conductors and drivers won't get a chance to cheat neither commuters nor owners.

I don't care what you require for payment-- what I want is a bus service that is safe and comfortable: no speeding and overtaking to get to the next halt ahead of the others; no waiting for 5 - 10 minutes at intermediate halts; no bulath chewing drivers and conductors; employees clean and presentably dressed; no sudden breaking that knocks people to the floor....Is all of that too much to ask?

This is a very good idea...... authorities must implement this system.

Government should improve better Train service and improve Private bus operation. Last year CTB lost 10 Billion rupees. Too much tax payer money and resources been wasted.

I am sorry to say that I don't like Mr Gemunu Wijeratne but since of recent he talks absolute sense. Practically every thing he said in thus video is factual. But I don't think we the public or the bus owners will get any sense out of the rulers!

money grabbing lecherous cretins at work again. all buses should be nationalised and a good public bus service provided with intelligent people running it not politically influenced idiots doing it.

Good Idea.. But once Implemented the Bus Conductor will come out with excuses.. If the Machine Does not work Gamuni Should Allow Free Travel to the Passenger.
Over to The Minister to Pass Resolution via the Parliament, and Gazette it.
This works very well in Singapore.. Even In Few African Countries.

The bottom line is no incentives are given to Private bus operaters while Govt.stooges dictate terms to them. Govt.corruption has infiltrated to Private Bus operators and this should be stopped.
How CTB loosing 10 Billion rupees while all incentives given and with no root permits been charged been should be addressed first.
