Confusion over water transport service implementation arises
The government has chosen the company which will operate the water bus service on the Hlaing River and Nga Moe Yeik Creek, said Daw Nilar Kyaw, regional minister of electricity, industry and transportation, on May 22 at a regional parliamentary session. The company Tint Tint Myanmar won the tender over its competitor, Daw Nilar Kyaw told fellow lawmakers at the parliamentary session. The firm said that it will operate the system with water vehicles imported from Australia and Thailand. It is also building its own ships at a dock in the country, and hopes to begin operations in the second week of June. But there is a little contradiction between the statements from the Yangon Region Transport Authority and the company.
