The Maldives Transport and Contracting Company (MTCC) has stated that three bus routes in Male’ City will be suspended for three hours each day during the month of Ramadan.
MTCC stated that the Orchid Route, Ameenee Route, and Sosun Route will be suspended from 1800hrs to 2100hrs as the buses face hindrances due to the numerous parked vehicles and traffic congestion near mosques. The other bus routes in Male’, Villimale’, and Hulhumale’ will be suspended from 1800hrs to 1900hrs.
Furthermore, Maldives Police Service (MPS) has made changes to the traffic flow in Male’ for the month of Ramadan. As such, MPS banned four-wheeled vehicles from travelling on some roads to reduce congestion and ease the convenience of the public. Police officers are also involved in special operations to reduce traffic congestion near the Sinamale' Bridge and the Male’-Hulhumale’ link road as well as reduce offences such as speeding and illegal parking.
