Katunayaka, August 20 (Daily Mirror) - The new luxury 'Air Port Terminal Shuttle Service' launched at the Bandaranaike International Airport (BIA) was suspended yesterday, the airport duty officer said.
The shuttle service was operated up to the Multimodal Transport Centre (MMC) in Makumbura.
The decision was taken after a protest was held by the luxury bus services that operate between BIA and Colombo Fort. The protesters had gone to the Transport Ministry and to the Elections Commission to show their opposition to the new luxury bus service.
An airport taxi service also joined the protest. After considering all the issues, the luxury bus service was suspended after 11 a.m. yesterday, four days after the launching of the service.
