Bus stops, stands set up in Maldivian capital


“A bus stop only has a post with a sign written as ‘bus hutti’ [in local Dhivehi language]. We will set up bus stands after determining the number of people who wait for buses at the bus stops. Despite the fact that we’ve only set up a trial bus stand near Nalahiya Hotel, we’ll establish more after the trial,” the official said.

The official, who revealed that the company expects to begin the service next week, said 15 bus stops would be established in Male before beginning the service.

The buses are set to initially use two routes to travel from Villingili ferry terminal to Hulhumale ferry terminal; the first route consists of Orchid Magu and Fareedee Magu while buses would use Majeedee Magu and Ameenee Magu as the second route.




The official, however, said the initial routes would be changed after sometime.

“We’ll change the routes for trial,” the official said.

MVK, which will charge Rf5 per passenger, will use 10 buses to provide the service from 6am to 12am every day, the official added.
