Minister of Megapolis and Western Development Patali Champika Ranawaka noted that the public transport services in the country should be developed properly before constructing expressways.
The minister expressed this view while announcing the progress of the priority bus lane project, which was launched earlier in the week.
The minister further stated that discussions are underway to streamline the express bus services and under this plan a specific bus lane will be allocated in the middle of the road for express buses.
