Parliamentary Transport Committee holds inaugural meeting with Minister Vafeades

The newly formed Parliamentary Committee on Transport, Communications and Works held its first session on Thursday, attended by Minister Alexis Vafeades. The meeting served as an introduction for new members to discuss key priorities and ongoing issues. Main topics included traffic management, school bus safety, photo-enforcement cameras, Takata airbags, taxi licenses, and infrastructure projects. Minister Vafeades highlighted the challenges in Limassol, where an influx of approximately 10,000 new vehicles per year complicates traffic conditions. The ministry and committee members plan to coordinate on long-term road network developments and the prioritization of 60 specific streets identified by local mayors in Limassol. Both parties expressed a commitment to collaboration to address daily public concerns. The audit office report regarding bus safety was specifically cited as a subject of focus for upcoming implementation of stricter inspections.
