Caretaker Minister of Public Works and Transportation, Ali Hamieh, on Wednesday met with Bassam Tleiss, head of land transport unions in Lebanon, with who he discussed issues within the transportation sector.

Hamieh highlighted the sector’s importance and ongoing efforts to address challenges, including determining public transportation tariffs amidst currency fluctuations.

Tleiss praised the ministry’s efforts and emphasized the need for temporary tariff issuance and regular evaluation.
