Al-Khouli: $16.2M for drivers but not public transit

The Coordinator of the Lebanese Coalition for Good Governance criticized the government's decision to allocate approximately $16.2 million to temporarily support public drivers for three months, emphasizing that this amount could have been invested in strengthening public transportation by purchasing more than 500 buses, with the goal of building lasting assets and improving transportation services. He called for the adoption of an integrated national policy that invests in public transit to reduce travel costs, decrease reliance on private cars, and curb widespread traffic congestion, along with establishing a monitoring mechanism to ensure compliance with official fare regulations.
