But the schedule was cancelled without any notice or consultation with transport leaders, sources said. A meeting of RTA is not being held for three years, they said.

The demands include establishment of a truck terminal in the city, development of the two central bus terminals, stopping illegal toll collection for bridges and stopping movement of unauthorised trucks and buses.
