Should Schools Vans Charge Transportation Fees for April and May? Almost all of the transportation sector has been affected due to COVID- 19. Most transportation employees have taken pay cuts, and some of them have lost their jobs entirely. Schools in the country have been shut since March 12, much earlier than the nation's lockdown and curfew, that begun on March 20, and remains in effect. Ordinary citizens have had difficulty surviving on the Rs. 5,000.00 given by the Government to those were eligible. Yet, parents are still being charged school transport fees. We would like to ask Lalith Chandrasiri, the School Children Transport Association Secretary, whether it is fair to demand school transportation fees from parents for April and May without having provided service since March 12. Everyone should be reminded that March fees were collected in full despite service having only been provided for half of the month. The transportation industry has benefited financially from the covid-19 lockdown, as they have during other situations such as during the April 2019 Saharan attack, when even the government asked that school transportation fees for the month be halved.
