Mwanza road safety ambassadors intensify compliance campaign

MWANZA: ROAD safety ambassadors in Mwanza City have called on passengers, drivers and bus agents to fully comply with road safety laws and procedures in order to reduce accidents and protect peoples’ lives.

Speaking yesterday during a cleaning exercise and road safety awareness campaign held at Nyegezi Bus Terminal, road safety stakeholder Ms Subira Sabi emphasised the importance of passengers fastening seat belts while ensuring they sit in seats equipped with functioning belts.

Ms Sabi urged passengers to ask the conductor or driver if seats do not have seat belts or if there are any safety concerns.

She also encouraged the proper use of online ticketing systems to enhance transparency and safety for travellers.

“Some passengers still lack sufficient understanding of the online ticketing system, while some agents have been accused of issuing unofficial tickets instead of using the required electronic system,” she stressed.

Ms Sabi reminded the public of the importance of adhering to road safety laws and following proper procedures from the moment of boarding to disembarking.
