2 Asar, Kathmandu – Member of the House of Representatives Ashish Gajurel has expressed that traveling via public transportation is inconvenient. As the chairman of the Parliamentary Committee on Infrastructure Development, Gajurel shared his perspective on the challenges faced during public transit journeys.
During the committee meeting held on Tuesday to initiate discussions related to public vehicle and transportation management, the chairman stated, ‘The wealthy class uses private vehicles, but those traveling by public transportation endure significant difficulties.’ He emphasized the need to identify the root causes of these problems and to deliberate on potential solutions to create an environment that facilitates smooth transit for everyone.
The discussion included officials from the relevant ministries, representatives from traffic management bodies, public transport entrepreneurs’ federations, and freight business representatives. According to the Traffic Management Office, around 2 million vehicles operate daily in the Kathmandu Valley, yet there is an insufficient number of traffic personnel to observe and control them effectively.
