Daily train delays at office hours
I appreciate what the Transport Minister is doing for the betterment of the Government transport services such as the Railway and CTB.
I have noticed how many trains and buses are introduced to the system to uplift the service levels.
Around 3,000 employees travel by a train during office hours. So, delaying a train by half and hour wastes 1500 man hours to the country.
If all the trains are going to delay by half and hour, one can think of the waste of man hours to the country.
The impact is directly going to the Government sector or private sector reducing the productivity which in tern impact on the Sri Lankan economy.
I think there is no reason for a train to delay. All the roads will be closed to allow trains to go.
Then why these trains are getting delayed? Has anyone questioned from the relevant staff in the Railway, why these trains are delaying?
If it is caused by one or two persons, it is good to pay them the salary and force them to stay at home.
Then it will save lot of man hours losing everyday to the country.
Travellers somehow managed the increase of the Railway fare, but they should get that at least through the quality service by operating trains without delays.
Therefore I request the Transport Minister to take necessary actions against those responsible Railway staff members whoever they are.
Otherwise your effort in improving the transport service will be in vain on the long run.
