Discussions on modernizing the public transport sector in Sri Lanka

The Forum on Disarmament and Development (FDD) continues discussion with the Government on modernizing the public transport sector of Sri Lanka. This evening the FDD had an another round of meetings with officials of the Ministry of Transport and Civil Aviation. It has discussed linking the Colombo-Katunayake Railway to the Airport and the importance of having electric hydraulic buses with disable accessibility for the public transport.
Further we discussed the possibility to have CCTV cameras (one near the driver's seat) starting with long-distance buses and well-disciplined drivers and conductors service is expected. We are happy about the decision taken to ban loud music on the buses. No doubt that having comfortable public transport will improve the nation's human security, ease many environmental issues and bring other benefits.
