The name is public transport. People who are in such a sensitive business have not only stranded the passengers by disrupting the service across the country, they have also bent the government by force. A working group consisting of the government and businessmen in favor of the syndicate has discussed till midnight and agreed to write a letter to the Gandaki government to postpone the 'ride sharing' regulation. While the union has no right and reason to interfere in the policy of the state.

In order to compel the government, the transport businessmen have arrested the passengers who were traveling towards their destination for treatment, employment, business and foreign travel. Transport business is not called as an essential service. However, arbitrarily blocking the service provided for a fee is dishonest to one's profession, it is also a punishable offense under the laws of the country. On the one hand, the end of the 'syndicate' has been announced, on the other hand, the public transport operators are still bullying their responsibility towards passengers and accountability to the law through undeclared 'syndicates'. The transporters have been repeating this situation as the sometimes harsh government has been making compromises. The government, which is responsible for protecting the legitimate interests of the businessmen, has once again moved to compromise on their anti-consumer demands. The initial agreement reached on Monday midnight indicates that the businessmen will often block the traffic in the future as well. 

The first topic is that 'Ride Sharing' has become popular all over the world. Attempts to deny it have been made in the past in the capital city of Kathmandu, but it failed because no one can stop the speed of time and technology. Secondly, there are problems in our transport sector such as having to stand on traditional vehicles for a difficult journey, women, children and senior citizens are more vulnerable, arbitrary fares are collected. Therefore, there is a need to organize the popular public travel, it has become mandatory to connect new style tools and technology in the transportation sector. It should spread as fast as possible, not curtail the service that gives passengers different options in terms of fares, timings and facilities. It not only gives freedom to passengers, but also makes business reliable and respectable. 

In Section 168 of the Vehicle and Transport Management Act, 2049, there is a provision that 'in order to develop transport business in a clean competitive manner, public vehicles will not be granted licenses to operate services under the cycle system'. But on the contrary, after the transport businessmen ran syndicates, the Supreme Court abolished such mechanisms by issuing phased orders in 061, 067 and 073 years. Even after that, after the transport professionals formed a committee and established a 'syndicate' prohibiting open competition in the transport sector, the Council of Ministers on May 4, 2075 decided to end all types of syndicates in the transport sector. The transport committee running the 'syndicate' was dismissed by that decision. But the government's weakness is that the 'syndicate', which has been abolished, is still running unannounced. By playing on this weakness, they have now adopted the strategy of threatening to stop the transport and bring the state to its knees. In which they have succeeded. 

According to the Gandaki government, the law passed by the Gandaki state assembly, the ruling of the Supreme Court in favor of ride-sharing operations and the revised provisions of the Industrial Business Act 2076 have been introduced. In 2076, the Gandaki Province Vehicle and Transport Management Act, 2076 was passed by the Provincial Assembly. In sub-section (4) of Section 13 of the Act, there is a provision that vehicles registered for private purposes can transport passengers after completing the necessary procedures and charging the specified fare on their route and carrying passenger insurance. The Supreme Court also ordered on June 13, 2081 to bring 'ride sharing' to legal standards and organize it. The full text of the decision made by the joint bench of the then Chief Justice Vishwambhar Prasad Shrestha and Judge Tek Prasad Dhungana was published last December. In full, the government was instructed to implement the necessary legal provisions for the registration, operation, management and monitoring of transport service businesses such as 'ride sharing'. 

Transportation businessmen have been demanding that vehicles with red number plates should not be rented, arguing that Section 8 of the Vehicle and Transportation Management Act 2049 states that private vehicles cannot be used for transportation services and Section 12 states that vehicles used for one purpose cannot be used for another purpose. If this system is implemented, only 15,000 people working in Gandaki province will lose their direct jobs and people working in petrol pumps, motor parts, lubricants will be displaced from their jobs. But these arguments themselves are weak. Firstly, the transport sector is considered by the constitution to be the province's area of ​​authority and responsibility. Therefore, the province itself has the right to make and enforce traffic laws, it does not have to speak to the union. Secondly, the business and employment of people who provide 'ride sharing' services cannot be ignored. It is the right of the customer, the consumer, to choose whose service to take. Passengers choose those who provide easy, smooth and convenient services. We can't provide quality service, but we can't reasonably demand that our commercial interest be fulfilled. The main theme, in any enterprise business, monopoly should be broken, competition should be promoted. This is the issue that the government should take care of. Public transport is a fundamental right of the people. The government did not have the right to negotiate on that. The accountability of contracts that are against the law and the interests of consumers rests with the government.
