Vehicles traveling outside Kathmandu Valley should be operated only from New Buspark: KMC

The Kathmandu Metropolitan City (KMC) has said that all vehicles traveling outside the Kathmandu Valley should be operated only from the New Bus Park at Gongabu in Kathmandu. Issuing a notice today, the KMC appraised all those concerned, especially the transport entrepreneurs, about this new provision. The new provision is applicable for vehicles operating outside the Valley that ply on short route and long route. The provision aims to streamline the traffic management system in the bus park area where issues of haphazard parking, unsystematic uploading and unloading of passengers were rampant.

The ticket booking counter inside the bus park, however, will be kept intact, the notice said.

Furthermore, the KMC has also urged the concerned sides to remove the ticket booking counter outside the bus park effective from June 16. The KMC has urged all the stakeholders for implementation of the new provision. Those vehicles plying on the long route and obtaining permit up to Banepa, Sankhu and Dhulikhel are barred from stopping at stations from Kalanki to Jadibuti. The KMC shall coordinate with the Traffic Police to bring to book those disobeying the new notice, the KMC warned.
