The Yangon Region Public Transport Committee (YRTC) has completed the construction of four out of eight planned parking areas for the overnight parking of YBS vehicles operating in Yangon, says the YRTC.
In addition to the seven YBS parking zones already constructed, another parking lot is being built on a 5-acre plot of land within the Thukha Dagon housing complex in Dagon Myothit (South) Township, allocated by the Department of Urban and Housing Development.
“Parking is essential. There are seven areas that have already been constructed. During the term of YRTC, we have completed four parking lots. One is still under construction. We plan to build eight zones in total. We have car parks in Hlinethaya and North Okkalapa, taxi parking zone in Dagon Myothit (North). We will build in the Thukha Dagon housing complex, Dagon Myothit (Seikkan) and South Okkalapa,” said a YRTC official.
The area of the YBS parking zones ranges from 5 to 7 acres and it can accommodate about 200 to 300 buses depending on the area.
