This move comes after the panel conducted a thorough inspection of the buses. The panel has taken notice of the issues faced by commuters and has decided to address them.

The inspection revealed that many buses have leaky roofs, which cause water to seep in during rains, making the commute uncomfortable for passengers. Additionally, faulty doors were also found in some buses, which can be a safety hazard.

The panel has decided to take immediate action to repair the leaky roofs and faulty doors. The BEST administration has been instructed to carry out the repairs at the earliest.
