The Hon. (Dr.) Prasanna Gunasena - Acting Minister of Transport and Highways

¶ 01 Hon. Speaker, we began with the Puttalam Corridor. Starting from the integrated timetable on the Puttalam access route, we measured travel time to designated destinations and standardized rest-stops, commencing and dispatching buses from one point. With the support of the Ministry of Health, under the supervision of PHIs within MOH areas, we conduct inspections and operate these restaurants with their guidance. We plan to extend this corridor-by-corridor, access-route by access-route, to bring all long-distance bus rest-stop restaurants across the country under regulation with set standards.
