PEYLON'S Minister of Transport has stated that bus nationalization must be completed within three years. He has rejected a recommendation of an official study group that the take-over should be spread over a period of eight years.
Nationalization will begin in Colombo next year. Of the 232 buses that will be required for the new services in that area, no more than 42 are likely to be taken over from existing operators.
Because of their bad condition, a maximum of 800 of the 4,000 buses at present run by the island's 80 operators will be acquired for the State undertaking.
The proposed transport board will have a capital outlay of between Rs.203m. and Rs.227m. it is estimated that the annual net profit will be 43.4m. Some 30,000 workers will be employed and about 4,000 buses will be run. There will be 21 depots, 42 subdepots, a central workshop and central administration.
