<p>The number of public transport vehicles is very minimal in comparison to the urban population. This has been raising problem of transportation for the mass. Though the government had decided to emphasize on operating big vehicles for mass transportation and approve route accordingly, the decision has not been found to be implemented properly.&nbsp;&nbsp;</p>

<p>Lack of effective implementation of transportation management plans of the government has been still affecting the public.&nbsp;</p>

<p>The Department of Transportation Management (DoTM) has registered 316 companies after the ban of syndicate system informed, Tulsi Ram Aryal, DoTM spokesperson. The department has allocated the companies with their respective transportation route along with vehicles operation permit.</p>

<p>Transportation entrepreneurs are allowed to operate their vehicles for public transportation only after registering their companies at the department. The government after declaring the end of transportation cartel has made the registration process mandatory.</p>

<p>Aryal informed that the department is committed to making the public transportation service effective. The ban of syndicate system has brought some improvement in the transportation service, he added.</p>

<p>He informed that a total of 316 companies have registered with the department and taken new route permit. The department claim that, instead of instant progress , it aims for gradual improvement in the sector.</p>

<p>With the end of transportation syndicate, the Ministry of Transportation and Infrastructure has formed a committee for the improvement of transportation system and its management.&nbsp; The committee is chaired by Keshav Sharma, joint secretary of the ministry.</p>

<p>The committee was requested to present its reports one month after its formation but has failed to present its findings within the allocated time. However the committee had requested for two-week extension period, which has been approved by the ministry.</p>

<p>The committee chaired by Sharma had under taken its responsibilities on June 11.</p>

<p>Lack of effective implementation of transportation management plans of the government has been still affecting the public.&nbsp;</p>

<p>The Department of Transportation Management (DoTM) has registered 316 companies after the ban of syndicate system informed, Tulsi Ram Aryal, DoTM spokesperson. The department has allocated the companies with their respective transportation route along with vehicles operation permit.</p>

<p>Transportation entrepreneurs are allowed to operate their vehicles for public transportation only after registering their companies at the department. The government after declaring the end of transportation cartel has made the registration process mandatory.</p>

<p>Aryal informed that the department is committed to making the public transportation service effective. The ban of syndicate system has brought some improvement in the transportation service, he added.</p>

<p>He informed that a total of 316 companies have registered with the department and taken new route permit. The department claim that, instead of instant progress , it aims for gradual improvement in the sector.</p>

<p>With the end of transportation syndicate, the Ministry of Transportation and Infrastructure has formed a committee for the improvement of transportation system and its management.&nbsp; The committee is chaired by Keshav Sharma, joint secretary of the ministry.</p>

<p>The committee was requested to present its reports one month after its formation but has failed to present its findings within the allocated time. However the committee had requested for two-week extension period, which has been approved by the ministry.</p>

<p>The committee chaired by Sharma had under taken its responsibilities on June 11.</p>

<p>Aryal informed that the department is committed to making the public transportation service effective. The ban of syndicate system has brought some improvement in the transportation service, he added.</p>

<p>He informed that a total of 316 companies have registered with the department and taken new route permit. The department claim that, instead of instant progress , it aims for gradual improvement in the sector.</p>
