seven per cent annual increase in traffic has been worked out by the Ceylon Transport Board. The scheme envisages an expansion of the bus fleet to about 8,000 by 1975.
This will require the purchase of 5,600 more buses, including 1,330 second-hand doubledeckers from London. As a first step the Board has agreed to import, for the first time, bus chassis from India. About 200 of these are to be purchased, together with 150 ex-London Transport buses for Colombo suburban services.
