A Yangon bus company owned by the grandsons of former military dictator Ne Win offered free bus rides on 1 February, to celebrate the second anniversary of the Myanmar coup.

The bus company, Omni Focus Bus Lines is owned by Aye Nay Win and Kyaw Nay Win, two of Ne Win’s grandsons.

"As usual, when I went to work this morning on the YBS 20 [bus], I put money in the fares box on the bus but today it was shut with tape. I assumed that the driver would collect the money or that I would have to give it to him directly, so I tried giving him the bus fare, but he said that for today only it was free. There was also a message on the bus's front mirror saying that you can ride for free today. The remaining Omni Focus bus lines are also free too”, said a commuter.

According to locals, this was an attempt by the Omni Focus Bus company to persuade as many commuters as possible out onto the streets because so many people in Yangon were taking part in the Silent Strike on 1 February to mark the coup’s second anniversary.

A commuter said: “Among the bus lines that run in Yangon city, Omni bus lines are good. Passengers journeys happen without a hitch, even though it is run by grandsons of former Military dictator U Nay Win.”

Omni Focus buses have also been attacked by defence forces since the coup.

On 27 October, 2021, an Omni Focus YBS 20 bus was bombed while parked in front of a gas station near the Yoegyi stop in Hlaing Tharyar Township.

Four days later, on 31 October, another YBS 20 bus was set on fire near the Sinmalite stop in Kyimyindaing Township.

Also, two Omni Focus Bus Lines YBS 65 buses were blown up and damaged by two remote-controlled mines, by the Special Task Agency of Burma (STA) on 13 January 2022 .

Omni Focus Bus Lines currently operates more than 300 buses in Yangon.
