We have heard the complaints of private bus owners as it relates to their buses not being allowed to operate within the KMTR. I would like to sugggest a possible way of engaging these investors.
They could be incorporated into the JUTC's fleet. Allow me to expand.
The JUTC's chief dispatchers would be aware of the number of buses that they have available by 3 am each morning. The private bus crews would report to the chief dispatcher to receive a route assignment for the day based on the shortage of JUTC buses. The bus and its crew would be managed and regulated by the JUTC for the entire day.
Technology must be used to inform the chief dispatchers of buses and crews that are not eligible for dispatch. Either a system of rotation or 'first come first served' could be used to determine which buses and crews are utilized each morning.
There must be harsh penalties for breaches of the stipulated rules and regulations!
In any event, someone must sit with these persons and inform them that we will not go back to the "DO IT ANYWAY YOU LIKE" system. The transportation of people requires the highest levels of safety and discipline.

We need a holistic national transportation plan that is tied not only to people's pockets/dollars but the future development of the country where we can all live,work and raise our children happily and safely.
