Police shoot them and blame it on drivers. Then arrest the drivers. Thats your style right.

Im a daily traveler of 163 and I think this bus should be toughly regulated. People often get late to work as they purposely overcrowd and delay journeys to make more money. Hope the government takes action against 163 and other buses if they are doing the same.

Private Buses is another cancer that brought back into the country by JR who never considered the well being of the general public of this country.

They don't care any law. Don't issue tickets. Don't give balance money specially coins. Stop out of halting places if any one to pick up and don't stop at the halting place if another bus is at the halt.

They don't allow increase the CTB buses which are still liked by the commuters.

Not any government taking proper action against them I think due to some of their people also running private buses.

Why should these problems come to the streets when there are ministers, departments and official and so on monthly paid by public money to handle the same?

Away with this private buses.. Govt. should introduce more state owned bus services at least at this juncture. The private bus owners demands are totally unacceptable here. In the first instance, why did that private bus driver break a CTB bus mirror? I guess it must have been while wrongly overtaking it! And that happened in front of the Ratmalana bus depot! And do they think they can get away with that? And what justify them to put commuters into difficulties like this? This is very serious matter and govt. should take stringent measures to put an end to such atrocious activities. Cancel their licence is what I would recommend.

Transport minister should divert some of the SLTB buses plying in other routes to these striking routes and reduce the problems of the commuters. This will also teach these capricious private bus strikers a lesson.
