Bus Services * Brunei - In KB And Seria Temporarily Halted
For nearly a week now, local private buses travelling to and from Kuala Belait and Seria have stopped operating, which has led to questions being asked by the public on the efficiency of public transportation in the country
Kuala Belait,Brunei -Bru Direct (Darussalam,Brunei)/Borneo Bulletin, by Liza Mohd -8 April 2008: -- ... A representative of the local private bus service operator, Berlima Sdn Bhd, said the local bus service operating between Kuala Belait and Seria has been temporarily halted as the company is waiting for road taxes for the buses to be renewed... According to the representative, the company's contract to provide transportation in the district ended on March 31. But the company received a call from the Land Transport Department on that date, informing them that their contract has been extended for an additional three months... Due to the short notice, the company was compelled to renew the road tax and insurance of its four buses to enable them to operate lawfully... Representatives from the Belait Land Transport Department were not available for comment... Passengers deprived of the daily local bus service and some have opted to take a ride from illegal taxi operators or ‘taxi sapu’, who have seized on the situation...
