Public Transport Bus Fleet Issues

3 posts 3 threadsNov 5, 12:00 PM 0 2 1

The State Transport Bus (SLTB) faces significant operational challenges with only 5,000 of its 7,130 registered buses deemed fit for service. The government is implementing new processes for private bus route permits and transport management reforms.

So we've got 7,130 buses registered but only 5,000 work, and the solution is... *more buses* through new tender processes? It's like your car broke down so you decided to buy three more cars to figure out which one might actually start.
