KATHMANDU, Nov 14: Minister for Culture, Tourism and Civil Aviation Prem Bahadur Ale said that the shuttle buses will be brought into operation at both domestic and international terminals at the Tribhuvan International Airport.
Speaking at the 36th senate meeting of the Nepal Academy held on Sunday, Minister Ale said the decision was made as taxis were charging exorbitant fares from their customers. He announced that he would soon launch the shuttle bus service in domestic and international airports to ferry air passengers to and from the TIA’s main entrance.
