June 4: To ease the traffic congestion in the capital, the Department of Transport Management (DoTM) is in the process to introduce a new policy under which the public vehicles are required to operate till 10 pm in the evening.

According to Kumar Prasad Dahal, director general at the department, they held discussion about traffic congestion in the capital with the Ministry of Physical Infrastructure and Transport, and will soon introduce a new policy for the public transportation of the capital.

Meanwhile, the Kathmandu Metropolitan City (KMC) had introduced night bus service in the capital some years back, but it couldn’t give continuity to the service. The KMC has again started discussions with all the transportation stakeholders and Nepal Police to operate the service from this year.

According to Ishwor Man Dangol, spokesperson at the KMC, the discussion to resume the service is in the final stage. In 2012, a total of 14 night buses were operated in the capital. However, the service came to halt within six months.

Sajha Yatayat had also operated five night buses in the capital some two years ago, but the company also couldn’t give continuity to the service. The transportation entrepreneurs say that it is difficult to provide service in the night because the flow of passengers is very less.
