Local firms propose to run Yangon bus service
Two local companies have submitted a proposal to operate the forthcoming Bus Rapid Transport (BRT) system in Yangon, according to regional officials.
Although the government initially planned to launch the BRT this year, plans have been delayed due to the location of traffic lights and poor road conditions. The two companies, including Myittarhlaine Transport Company (the other was not disclosed), have also proposed to build bus stops. Yangon’s regional government is allowing them to import new vehicles to run the BRT system. The authorities plan to use Pyay Rd for a trial.
