I THINK THE CARD OWNERS WIIL HAVE TO WALK HOME OR WORK AS PRIVATE BUS CONDUCTORS WILL NOT ALLOW THEM TO HGET ON THE BUS WITHOUT MONEY.

This is really not a matter for parliament. Did the parliament also approved the fees for public toilets?

There was a successful project call "Sahasara" in Kandy area and this prepaid card system was used. Don't know the reason for not to continue the such a successful project.

Create a good public transport system through public private partnership ,and remove the rude bus drivers from the streets forever.

This is a good move and government can also introduce gps location of buses so that commuters need not wait at the bus halts for long period of time.

A similar project was started in one route. Maybe it was not continued because of change of government. Might as well rename it and continue (like the megapolis system)

Is this matter for cabinet to approve? Looks like cabinet is working on easy things while ignoring major problems in the country.
