I do agree with the suggestion.This should also include, motor cycles,with a clause "Allowed up to legal passenger capacity only "guiding both, authorities as well as the transporters added.The three wheelers & cyclists weave thru heavily over crowded& busy traffic causing many mishaps.

Safety & security should be top priority in our transport systems including roads. and there should be special team to identify all road and transport hazards on a daily basis which reduce accident and traffic jams

Their should be a strong policies regarding control of the school vans mafia. Because, they are getting money from the parents without any justiable reason. Even. vaction period, most of school vans asking ful lpayment .But , no any investigating or monitering machanism in this regard. Threfore these kind of issues should be considered.

Hello Dear,

Banning any method of transport can be a disaster to middle and lower class parets.But I suggest to have a rule to limit the pessengers in any vehicle as standard.

School students aren't allowed to travel in trishaws? What kind of child protection is this? Many parents prefer to send their children in trishaws to get them away from problems like congestion in buses

How did the widely prevalent practice of transporting school children as pillion riders on motor bicycles and similarf conveyances escape the attention of the NCPA Chairperson?

what do you then expect the students to do? walk to home?

first of all try to provide ample transport facilities, then talk all about this.

concors Sunday, 23 January 2011 08:10 AM

schools should arrange buses,private transport should be allowed to transport school children according to the seat capacity,mainly because the y charge very high fee for transportt. its a good move.

Exactly correct, Sri Lankan politics know only to ban services & facilities. They never give PROPER alternative method, prior to those bans..

Right decision by the authorities although it may have negative consequence at present, it has long term benefits for our future generation.

I want to send my child to school by trishaw. We can not effort sending child to school by car or van. Do NCPA provide a well protected vehicle to my child???????

trishaws are convenient but it's survivability is low when met with an accident compared to closed vehicles.

consciousview Sunday, 23 January 2011 07:02 AM

I think what they're referring to are trishaws that transport five to six children crammed into one trishaw.

While banning on the one side, there should be special provisions on the other. These transport means are resorted to because of the inconvenience & non-affordability of other means.
