Kathmandu. KATHMANDU: The Federation of Nepalese National Transport Entrepreneurs (FNNTE) has said that the ticket booking for the Dashain festival will be open only after assessing the condition of roads.
During a discussion held at the Department of Transport Management (DoTM) today, the Federation said that it was difficult to open advance ticket booking as it took time for public transport to come to Kathmandu Valley due to the complete operation of roads in various parts of the country.TAG_OPEN_div_22
}’There is a problem in going out of the valley due to lack of road improvement. We have been opening bookings for a long time but if the vehicle does not return, what will we do? Therefore, we can open the advance booking only by looking at the condition of the road,” said Bijay Bahadur Swar, president of the federation. Tickets are still open. ’
Director General of the Department of Transport Management, Rajib Pokharel, stressed the need of coordination among stakeholders to create an environment for the passengers going out of the Kathmandu Valley to reach their destinations in an easy and safe manner during the present situation and festivals.TAG_OPEN_div_18
‘The roads were damaged due to floods and landslides due to heavy rains on September 26, 11 and 12. It was not easy for the passengers going home during Dashain. But this year, the condition of the roads is easy,” he said, adding that discussions are being held with the Department of Roads to improve the damaged roads. If there is no heavy rain this time, there will be no problem. ’
Pokharel also urged the entrepreneurs to make the Dashain fare transparent, to give priority to online ticketing, to operate the vehicles only after repairing them and not to carry passengers beyond the capacity of the seats.TAG_OPEN_div_14
