Additionally, he highlighted the importance of training bus guides and equipping them with practical skills. The Minister also advocated for the use of the latest bus models that meet safety and quality standards.

Emergency Response and Coordination
The Minister pointed out the necessity of establishing mobile repair workshops that operate around the clock.
