Transport Co is taking the wrong route

» The Transport Co chief apparently has many problems to sort out. The state enterprise firm is trying to crack down on illegal vans running inter-provincial services. According to its own estimation, about 6,000 vehicles provide such services despite having no licence or approval from Transport Co, the agency responsible for inter-city routes. Thus far, it has successfully forced many of them to operate under its control, but more are still on the roads. Transport Co and the Land Transport Department stand to lose money from those illegal passenger vans as they do not have to pay route concessions and fees to the agency. It is unacceptable to allow these illegal vans to compete for passengers with the ones legally approved by the agency.
