Colombo (LNW): The Sri Lanka Transport Board (SLTB) will refurbish and reassign 15 double decker buses for the use in tourism, Daily Mirror reported quoting Transport Minister Bandula Gunawardena.
These buses are in need of repairs at the moment, and later will be used for passenger transport between the Anuradhapura Railway Station and the Sacred City, in a bid to break the monopoly of three-wheeler operations, who happen to charge exorbitant rates from the pilgrims, the Minister told Daily Mirror.
The move will also help strengthening the tourism sector.
