This was announced by the Transport Authority in a press release Friday evening, following a meeting between the Public Transport Operators Steering Committee and transport stakeholders.
On the request of Transport Minister Daryl Vaz the meeting was convened to review the traffic ticketing demerit points as well as other concerns of the sector.
