The reason why there is a need to top up the cards is because we pay bus companies – AG
The Turaga-ni-Koro of Vunitogoloa Village in Ra, Josefa Manakiwai says there are many parents and grandparents who are not well versed with the topping up of the bus fare cards and has suggested for the cards to be only used as boarding cards for students.
He says there should be no need to top up the cards.
While speaking at the budget consultation in Rakiraki, Manakiwai says some students are not able to liaise with their teachers and they may be shy as well.
He says students should be allowed to board the bus with the card without any funds.
