Maldives Transport and Contracting Company (MTCC) CEO Adam Azim has stated that while the company had begun their Raajje Transport Link (RTL) Mini Bus Service in Villimale', the service will now be available round the clock.

Speaking during a program aired on PSM, Azim stated that the buses will run for free for a duration of two weeks, after which the schedule and routes will be finalized.

In light of suggestions by customers, he added that the bus services are now available round the clock as well.

He further noted that electric buses are being operated in Villimale so as to not disturb the peace in the island, highlighting that there are 6 buses in total with 4 that are operational and 2 as a backup.

Azim further revealed that works are underway to scheduled buses every five and ten minutes.

He also noted that strong support has been received by locals on the island for the bus service, with 400 passengers using the bus on the launch day and 1,500 on the next day. On Tuesday, the number stood at 3,000 and has been gradually increasing day by day according to him.
