Better transport for school children

News

The Government wants to introduce new measures to ensure that a better service is provided by three-wheeler scooter taxis and vans in transporting schoolchildren.

The move follows a recommendation made to the Cabinet of Ministers by Transport Minister Nimal Siripala de Silva.
The ministers have decided that the Transport Ministry Secretary should head a committee to study the matter. The Committee is to be called upon to submit its report within two months, so that immediate measures could be adopted.
