The Road Transport and Safety Agency (RTSA) has warned of stern action against public transport operators whose vehicles have no sliding windows.
RTSA spokesperson, Mukela Mangolwa said it was illegal for public transport operator’s vehicles not to have sliding windows.
Mr. Mangolwa told ZANIS in an interview in Lusaka today that it was unfortunate that some public transport operators’ vehicles do not have sliding windows despite the health hazard and safety concerns.
The RSTA spokesperson called upon members of the public to report public transport vehicles without sliding windows to RTSA.
He said members of the public should get the registration number of such public transport vehicles and present such information to RTSA.
He explained that once such vehicles are reported to RTSA, the agency would not hesitate to make follow ups and bring erring operators to task.

How possible is that?
mini buses yes. the big buses have air cons and do not need sliding windows. they come from the factory already set
Thats nice.many minibuses its hell.with ‘cant open’ windows like ni kasalanga-safe journey to chimbokaila.
Very interesting safety requirements. I thought accessories like fire extinguishers and First Aid kits were more compulsory, or do they already have enough of those?
I am sure they are talking about those buses that have no air-conditioners, where the air is conditioned by the passengers…………..
PULIZE thank God for this miracle!

imwe, why do you trouble ma minibus drivers kanshi?
Well Good observation. It is a health risk to be closed up in a bus without windows that open. Coughs and sneezing spread fast. Good work but complemend with action not threats only.
RTSA are not serious. This issue has been on-going for a long time and their efforts have proved fruitless. I am challenging RTSA to be more proactive.
WHY REGISTER A MINIBUS THAT HAS NO SLIDING WINDOWS IN THE FIRST PLACE??? IT HAS TO BE MANDATORY FOR A MINIBUS TO HAVE SLIDING WINDOWS BEFORE REGISTRATION. And thats the solution to this trivial matter.
#9 Mwe Bantu…thats the best way to go. Your thinking is better than #1.
