The National Transport Authority (NTA) has started surprise checks for school vans, and the result was that in one week ten tickets were issued.
NTA inspectors have sensitised drivers of school vans about checking everything properly before they start driving.
The minister of Public Infrastructure, Anil Bachoo stated, “I will not be tolerant to those who violate the law, as children are at risk. Guidelines were already given by the NTA and we will not accept any excuse. Enough time was given to the driver to abide by the rules and regulations.” A NTA senior inspector said, “We noticed that the drivers park their vans far from the schools and the attendant came to take the children and they drive away, but this will not continue.”
