    Confiscate all the buses not operating today and give them to the army. Private bus business is a very profitable business. Some buses make more than 50,000 each day as pure profits. If you introduce the card system public will see how much these black money traders make.

    Mahesh,

    Do not mislead the people with wrong facts.

    Shortdistance bus .. (Airport - Fort)
    half trip time = 2 hours
    Number of trips per day 3 (Up and down)
    Assume full passengers exists for the full trip and it is 100

    One trip = 100 * 35 * 2 = 7000
    3 trip = 21000

    Total earned < said profit

    Long distance (Jaffna - Colombo)
    time per half trip = 8 hours

    70 * 400 * 2 = 56,000

    four labours = 6000
    Diesel = 20000
    still earned profit < said
