Jail for errant bus conductors
The instances of failure of state-run bus conductors to issue tickets are on the rise resulting in severe losses to the Sri Lanka Transport Board (SLTB).
Transport Minister Nimal Sripala de Silva has come up with a new plan to take action against the errant conductors. He plans to file action against them under the Public Property Act for depriving the state of its due revenue.
“Those who deprive the SLTB of its revenue will have to spend time in remand custody without bail in future,” the minister remarked at a meeting.
But, the question remains as to what has happened to the ‘ticket checkers’ whose duty is to carry out random checks on buses. There is a need to check on the checkers.
