THE Yangon Region Public Transport Committee (YRTC) has planned to increase the number of daily operating YBS buses from 3,500 to 4,000 by the 2025 matriculation examination, said its joint secretary U Lyan Cing Mang at a media conference on 7 March.

The Yangon Region Government has instructed the YRTC to expand the number of bus routes to facilitate the transportation of students to and from their schools during the examination from 17 to 22 March.

“On those days, YBS vehicles will run with shorter intervals than usual. There are currently around 3,500 YBS vehicles running daily, and we aim to run around 4,000 per day during the examination period. We will run more buses before 9 am, which is the starting time for the examination. CNG has been arranged to avoid any inconvenience,” he said.

YRTC has given necessary instructions to 10 inspection teams and responsible personnel at bus stops and routes to ensure convenient travels for students to schools, no traffic congestion, and smooth, disciplined operation of vehicles.

For emergency matters, individuals can contact the YRTC call centre at 09 448147149, 09 448147153, and 09 448147154.
