All passenger transport buses running on the High-Level Road are mandated to travel through the Makumbura Multimodal Centre (MMC) from tomorrow (March 01).
Minister of Transport Bandula Gunawardene assured that measures would be taken to cancel the licenses of buses that are acting contrary to the relevant decision.
The minister pointed out that the lives of passengers are at risk due to the increasing number of road accidents as a result of the buses making stops, dropping off and loading passengers in front of the Multimodal Center in Makumbura along the High-Level Road.
