Ha ha ha, cat jumping out from the sack !!!! An alternate way to charge more from passengers as these culprits wont adhere any protocols laid, In short time, it would be the same old dirty bus service charging more !!! I simply don't trust what these bunch of rascals say !!!

before anything, get decent, safe and polite drivers and conductors. Most private bus-crews are rude thugs with no regard for passengers comfort or safety.

Its seem like very soon Express way going to be Traffic way, adding so many buses. Only limited number of CTB buses are enough to carry out the operation, i think if you add privately own buses, that means going to be very traffic express way soon.

What a service for Rs.230/=, broken A/C, warm inside the bus, standing passangers, and overloading. What they want to do is change name to Semi Luxury service and charge extra fare. WHO IS CHECKING THAT THESE BUSSES ARE RUNNING AS EXPECTED ( as required by the regulations to charge extra from the passengers)

showing inability to meet the needs of ordinary travellers who accounts to a vast majority of the country's population the transport sector is skidding away from their responsibility and stepping towards a goal of an expensive cost of living. Government has been so adamant to listen to the request of private bus owners for reasonable fare hikes sympathising the plea of general public but in the meantime the government (SLTB) took initial steps to launch the expensive bus service prompting the private bus operaters to follow. What a silly stand of the state!!!

Convenient from private bus owners, They must be joking. Looks like they are feeling the heat a bit, Fast, you guys have broken all the records at the expense of innocent lives. So who wants you guys to go faster. They must be crazy!
Most people would be happy to pay extra Rs 170 for a decent service, not like cattles being loaded in private buses with AC deleberately stopping inconveiniencing passengers who paid for the AC service.

great, but please first stop the terro on the streets, horning, racing, dengerous overtaking etc.

Semi luxury means no luxury. Eventually the so called luxury buses also will become ordinary dirty buses due to poor maintenance, like the so called chinese restaurants in the country.

They are planning a way to charge more from the ordinary man.
This will definitely increase the living cost of an ordinary man further. This is a good move only if the salaries of private sector and government sector increase accordingly.

If the private buses are allowed to operate on the expressway , GOD BLESS THE OTHER TRAVELLERS.
