Reinvest in SLTB and hand over the accountability to each depot by appointing depot managers. Also create a healthy transport system. Further develop a female only service too.

The bus owners should be mindful of the fact that already two persons going on a bike is cheaper than the cost incurred for bus fare.If they do not reduce the bus to be on par with the amount of fuel prices the office employees may further opt to use their own way. Already public servants have been given mobile so it is not a burden for them to use alternative transport arrangements

Concessions galore for the long suffering poor public under the vicious rule of the corrupt Rajapakse rulers.
