    We need a lasting solution to transport rather than ad-doc patches.

    What we really need are not more buses but unclogged roads so that we can go from here to there in time and also affordable fares.

    This is interesting news which I hear during every festival in Sri Lanka. Why not run all these buses everyday!!

    Are these buses for "Christmas Thoran Service". This is not Wesak season. Hope you are not mistaken.
