Public transport in city poor, unreliable

PUBLIC transport services in Port Moresby is very poor and unreliable.
The poor regulation of PMV buses is a grave concern as it is an hindrance to people’s ability to move around freely and on time.
Overcharging bus fares and not completing designated routes is becoming normal, especially during peak hours.
In any metropolitan city in the world, public transportation (especially bus services) are regulated efficiently to provide quality services to residents.
Buses for routes 7 and 9 do not complete their routes in the morning.
They drop off passengers at Waigani and either pick new passengers travelling to Gordon or 4-Mile or return to Gerehu for other passengers.
When they complete their routes, they charge passengers K2.
Can the National Capital District Commission, the Road Traffic Authority and other relevant authorities look into this and address it? This is not right.
Something should be done to put a stop to this nonsense.
Traffic police personnel should be at bus stops during peak hours to ensure bus crews adhere to traffic rules.
The National Capital District Commission should put out contract tenders for companies to bid and provide transport services.
The commission can even provide this service.
Change comes when authorities step in to make bold decisions for a better society.
