General Roads and Bridges Authority Adel Turk said on Monday that the license for bus company ‘Go Bus’ has been suspended, after one of their buses hit a truck, killing six passengers and injuring 20 others. The accident occurred near the town of al-Alamein, on Egypt’s Mediterranean coast.
Turk said in televised statement on the Dream.came channel that the suspension was a measure taken by the authority in order to allow time for investigation of the safety standards followed at the company.
He added that his authority is assigned to release and revoke licenses to all transportation companies, both private and public.
