Authorities are working on setting routes for a shuttle service business between Yangon International Airport and downtown Yangon.
With new buses imported from China, the service will be placed into operation soon, said Dr Maung Aung, Secretary of the Yangon Region Transport Authorities.
An agreement to buy 1,000 new city buses for the roads of Yangon was signed in April between Yangon Bus Service and two Chinese companies.
The China Yutong Company and Ankai will sell 500 buses each to the YBS. Delivery of the buses are expected soon, officials said.
The YBS needed buses for their commuter service, for which the Yangon Region Government and Chinese Government ne-gotiated to supply city buses on a government-to-government (G-to-G) basis and finally entered into an agreement that would have the buses arrive in Yangon starting at the end of May, said Dr Maung Aung
