Ticketing system in Chittagong city bus services may begin from July 25 after efforts to introduce the system was delayed for the fifth time due to non-cooperation from the transport owners.
The system was to launch yesterday to bring traffic discipline in the port city, said sources in Traffic department of Chittagong Metropolitan Police. Efforts were taken to introduce the system in May this year, they added.
Belayet Hossain, president of City Bus Human Hauler Owners Association, said some owners who engaged their buses in EPZ for carrying workers stalled the efforts. If buses run under ticketing system, the owners may incur loss, he said.
Faruk Ahmed, deputy commissioner of police (traffic), said ticketing system will start on July 25 as transport owners requested him that they did not have sufficient preparation.
