SPTC continues to upgrade its services |27 June 2016
“The Seychelles Public Transport Corporation (SPTC) will continually update its bus service schedule to further cater for the growing public transportation demands,” said chief executive Geffy Zialor after having reviewed the company’s adjustments made in 2016.
Currently, SPTC operates an extensive bus service network on Mahé and Praslin, which runs along seventy routes, both, primary and secondary.
The public transport service provider works in close partnership with the district administration authorities and has adjusted its services, following public requests. SPTC also relies a lot on suggestions from members of the public.
However, prior to the adjustments made, visits are undertaken at the respective sites and decisions taken based on road conditions, demands and topography of the land.
The accompanying tables are the bus services that have been introduced or amended from January to May 2016, most departing Victoria Bus Terminal. These trips have already been incorporated in the existing bus timetable.
