We were waiting at Borella waiting for a Bus, me to go to Mt Lavinia on 154 route and Rajive to Borella.(After the .NET forum meeting yesterday). Suddenly one of these new CTB buses came which was recently imported from Japan for the Reincarnation of CTB.
It was a fully airconditioned bus (AC was swithed of) with Auto doors and also only a single seat line on each side. So the inside was quite spacious and suits our rush hours.
Also the bus ride was very smooth considering the pathetic road conditions in Colombo. So after all our government has done something good, and this also should be the way since we as a country should promote public transport as a long term strategy as we face the rising fuel bill. (80$+ per barrel ). But its up to the CTB drivers and conductors to make sure that they provide a good service to the Tax payer and also to use the new buses properly unlike the Ceylon Takarang Buses we already have.
