NTC: 100 buses to December
The National Transport Corporation (NTC) has acquired 36 new buses for the Nissan brand. This, to meet the government's decision to renew the bus fleet of the NTC.

These new buses will reduce expenses associated with the repair of older buses that have outlived their usefulness. The older buses will be replaced. These new buses consume less diesel.

Of these 36 buses, 11 are already on our roads. The remaining 25 will follow in the coming months and before long, the NTC is to purchase 10 vans. This year, the NTC expects to acquire 100 more buses. And next year, 200 buses.
