As the major renovation work at the Suva Bus Stand nears completion, the Suva City Council is prepared to usher in a new age of safety and convenience for Suva’s public transportation passengers.

In collaboration with the Fiji Roads Authority, the vital infrastructure upgrade that began in February this year, underwent a meticulous planning and operational stage with its key priority to minimize disruptions for bus operators and commuters traveling to and from the city.

Acting CEO for Suva City Council, Tevita Boseiwaqa says the Council is optimistic about the execution of the project given the steady progress achieved across all stages.
