Private bus strike in Jan

28 December 2010 08:54 am

The Private Bus Operators Association today said it would go on strike as planned in the second week of January in protest against the Western Province Passenger Transport Authority’s decision to increase the fleet of buses by 20% in the province.

The association’s President, Gemunu Wijeyratne said this decision contravenes the Supreme Court decision which held that it was mandatory to introduce timetables for each bus route. (Daily Mirror online)
