ACCORDING to the Yangon Region Public Transport Committee (YRTC), YBS buses have conducted test runs across the Myanmar-Korea Friendship (Dala) Bridge.
Following the bridge’s inauguration on 6 February, the trial was led by YRTC member-1 U Khin Maung Htwe, alongside officials from YBPC and YUPT Public Co, Ltd.
It involved a total of four buses from different lines to ensure operational readiness: two YBS 58 (Foton) from YUPT, carrying approximately 40 staff members per vehicle, and one YBS 72 (Ankai) and one YBS 108 (Yutong) from YBPC, carrying approximately 30 staff members per vehicle.
The bridge, connecting Dala Township to downtown Yangon, was officially opened on 6 February. The ceremony was attended by Head of State Senior General Min Aung Hlaing, the Prime Minister, Union ministers, and other high-ranking officials.
With the bridge now open, commuters can travel easily from Yangon through Dala to Twantay, Kawhmu, and Kungyangon townships, as well as to the Ayeyawady Region. — MT/ZN
