Safety briefs on all intercity buses are compulsory from tomorrow.
That is the directive from the Land Transport Authority who said all intercity buses especially with glass windows will be required to provide emergency briefs to passengers before commencing the journey from tomorrow.
Following two incidents where 12 people lost their lives in Malaqereqere few years back and a recent incident where a bus caught fire while on its way to Suva, this is being taken to ensure the safety of passengers especially during a long journey.
Land Transport Authority Chief Executive Officer Naisa Tuinaceva said this will become mandatory and will be something similar to instruction provided on an airplane.
Meanwhile, work is also being done to formalise a training program to make fire safety training compulsory for all PSV drivers.
