Yangon Region Public Transport Committee (YRTC) has worked on relocating nine highway bus lines, running from Bago to Yangon, to Aung Mingalar Highway Bus Terminal and the building is under construction to open bus gates, Bago highway committee member, U Ba Myint said at a press conference on 2 July at YRTC.
For bus gates, the construction of building has completed about 50 per cent, with the approval of Yangon City Development Comittee.
“Of 10 Bago-Yangon bus lines, 9 will be relocated to Aung Mingalar and the rest one which connects Bago with Ayeyawady Region will continue running from Dagon Ayeyar Highway Bus Terminal. YCDC granted a 200ft-60ft land plot near Gate 1 to set up gates for Bago-Yangon bus lines, and construction has completed nearly 50 per cent. The rest 50 per cent is expected to finish in this month and bus lines will start running from the end of the month,” he said.
Bus lines will start to run shortly after the construction finished and passengers can come to take buses at Aung Mingalar and about 20-30 buses will be provided on daily basis. Bus fare, from Bago to Yangon’s Aung Mingalar, is set K3000 by the consent of bus lines and actions will be taken if it charges more, he said.
