  • PDF

altThe  Global Positioning System (GPS)   will be introduced by National Transport Commission (NTC) to long distance bus services  before the end of this year, NTC Chairman Roshan Gunawardena said.

 
The system  will facilitate the monitoring of  speed levels, stoppings at relevant and  irrelevant  bus stops  through satellites.
 
All long distance  buses will be connected to the main control room by a mechanism attached to the buses  from where the  
signals would be transmitted  via satellites to the control room. 
 
The system enables the control room to  communicate with drivers for necessary advices, the Chairman said.
