National Transport Commission issues special notice
The National Transport Commission (NTC) has announced plans to introduce a new digital system to monitor passenger buses.
The Commission said arrangements would be made to fully monitor buses throughout their journeys, from the point of departure until they reach their final destination.
The new digital monitoring system is expected to be introduced on passenger buses within this year. The system will monitor several aspects, including bus operations, passenger safety, the conduct of drivers and conductors, vehicle speeds and bus stops.
The National Transport Commission further stated that if any violations of regulations are detected through the monitoring system, necessary action will be taken against the buses concerned, including the issuing of penalty points and the cancellation of their operating permits.
