When we were kids... them 'Blue' Buses from Japan aka 'Sajha Yatayat' was the ... Public Transportation of Kathmandu Valley. Of course, we should not forget them 'Trolley Buses' from China and then came them ... polluting 'Three-wheeler' Tyampoos from India!
Now, the only thing the 'Sajha Yatayat' has .. is that gas station where sarkaari hakims can fill their tanks at any time whereas the public will have to stay in line for hours! What went wrong?
Everything that's wrong with our PEs (Public Enterprises) .... too much political nataks! When the Congressis came to power after the Jana-Andolan of 2046 B.S., they acted like Kids in them Candy Stores... and no store owner to take care of them stores!
The easiest and the best way for our political parties to honor their cadres... give them government jobs! Nothing wrong with our citizens getting government jobs but if a local post office needs 2 employees, our parties do some magic tricks to employ 12 of their own!
Look at Nepal Airlines Corporation! We have two jets. One of them is not working and how many employees do they have? More than 1,800.... wow... I hope Singapore Airlines employ like 1.8 million Singaporeans (more than 50% of their population!)... if we were to go with the # of jets : # of employees ko ratio!
Our Jutta Kaar-khanas, Churot Kaar-khanaas, Tyre Syre... all them government enterprises are filled with political cadres and every year, we.... have to pay these assholes to keep them running ... and they keep on losing billions of Rupees every year!
I don't think it would be right or wise to blame our so-called democratic parties only. Even the Maoists did the same when they had their 9-month stint at looting our nation's coffers and the Pancheys weren't them saints either!
Sajha Yatatyat had them long-distance buses all over the country. It was the most reliable, (even on-time... can u believe that?) and affordable to all. And now we have them micro-buses, domestic buses and all other public transportation nataks all controlled by the transportation-mafia!
Sajha Yatayat ko compound is now full of them empty Blue Buses... we should thank Mr. Satyal, then GM of Sajha, who made 7.3 corores! (That's the figure given to us by our intelligence agency, KGB .... Kukhurachor Guptachar Bivag!)
Kathmandu is the capital of Nepal. The Capital should have better roads, efficient public transportation, safe drinking water, 24 hrs electricty and what not!
Unless, we... the residents of the Kathmandu Valley wake up and burn all the ministries inside the Valley, our sarkaari hakims will continue to loot our Rastra ko dhukuti with the help from our so-called guardians... the great leaders of 'New Nepal' ... ouch... that may be too harsh... maybe we should wait for Padma Ratna Tuladhar to come up with some 'catcy slogans' to inspire us like he did many years ago with his 'Let's eat Beef' natak! Holy Cow!
Thanks to PRT, we now can order them 'steaks' and have some 'Western' Red-Meat... I hope we will soon learn to match that with some Red Wine pani... instead of everybody wanting sweet sweet wine when there's a party!
