    don't allow the buses to load/unload at the entry/points. This should be at another location otherwise the buses will block and create traffic jams

    Tharaka Chanaka Tuesday, 20 December 2011 10:46 AM

    keep the private buses away this time

    Picking passengers at the entrance is not the correct way,either from a Rail-station, or bus station is the mostsuitable way.

    Yes, 'grate' means to rub into little pieces.

    Nodrog Tuesday, 20 December 2011 10:30 AM

    will they be new buses as none of the present buses can maintain 100kmph for long. Its a pleasure to drive the E01 now hope buses will not make it a nightmare.

    freelanced Tuesday, 20 December 2011 10:31 AM

    Employ specially trained drivers to maintain the quality. Don't let the 'terror on the roads" reign on E01, like in other roads.

    Kangarro Tuesday, 20 December 2011 10:20 AM

    Wow that's cool but please please dont ever allow Private buses

    Shara Tuesday, 20 December 2011 09:04 AM

    this is a grate decision.

    knight rider Tuesday, 20 December 2011 08:47 AM

    wow now the maniacs shall rule the E01 too

    Kangarro Tuesday, 20 December 2011 08:24 AM
