RAIWAQA Buses Limited is not a charitable organisation to accommodate students with no funds in their e-ticketing cards.

These were the comments made by the company’s managing director, Ashok Kumar, during an interview with this newspaper.

“I have a business to sustain and workers to pay, this is a not a charitable organisation,” Mr Kumar said.

“I am already facing financial difficulties.

“We don’t have anything in our company like providing free bus fare for students. This is not our problem.

“I’ve told all my drivers to turn away students whose cards have no money in it.”

Mr Ashok said the Government should address the issue.

Questions sent to Minister for Education Rosy Akbar remain unanswered.
