Schoolchildren are allowed to continue using their November SLTB season tickets throughout December to ease travel disruptions caused by recent disasters. Meanwhile, teachers have agreed to contribute a day’s salary to support the recovery of affected educational activities.
School students will be able to travel on Sri Lanka Transport Board (SLTB) buses during December by presenting their valid season tickets issued for November, authorities have announced.
Deputy Minister of Transport and Highways Prasanna Gunasena said the temporary concession has been introduced to support students facing transport difficulties, noting that the facility will be granted upon showing last month’s season ticket.
In a related development, Deputy Minister of Labour Mahinda Jayasinghe said teachers have collectively agreed to donate one day’s salary in January. The funds raised through this initiative will be directed toward restoring and supporting academic activities disrupted by the recent disaster situation.
