Bus firm Banga looks at new name
A bus company in Wolverhampton that won the right to stay on the roads despite reports of maintenance lapses could change its name in a bid to shed its troubled reputation.
Rajinder Banga, who runs Banga Buses, has also vowed to buy newer vehicles, following an official warning from the West Midland traffic commissioner.
The rusty, spluttering beige Banga Travel buses were a familiar site when the company was run by Rajinder Banga's father Parkash Ram Banga, before he lost his licence last March.
Most of the nine-strong fleet has now been re-painted yellow. Banga Buses runs the 530 Wolverhampton to Rocket Pool service and the 634 between the city and Bilbrook.
At the hearing, vehicle examiner Nigel Davies was satisfied the fleet was in good working order.
Rajinder Banga, 39, said: "It is very important that people realise this company is not the same as the one my father ran."
