  Private bus strikes have been reported today in several areas including Panadura and Kandy.
 


Lanka Private Bus Owners Association (LPBOA) said the strike in Kandy has been launched by employees of long distance services against a proposal made for conductors and drivers to wear uniforms.
 

“They are refusing to wear the uniform. However, the strike will not affect the commuters,” LPBOA President Gemunu Wijeratne said.
 

Meanwhile, private bus employees of Panadura have launched a strike against the lack of facilities at the Panadura bus terminal.

    PBOA Gemuu said fewer people travel by bus now - obviously because the public cannot depend on the Private Buses as they strike for little or no reason. Are these two strikes for any worthwhile cause - no - but just to show their strength.

    The people of the country should be more enthusiastic in claiming their rights. passengers should tell the authorities about the issue

    We must not allow these bus owners to put the passenger in trouble.The chairman of the CTB must put more buses to the roads and encourage the public to use more CTB busses.
