Dear Editor,
Special thanks to Minister Manniram Prashad for intervening with the Parika Speed Boat Association concerning the fare from Parika to Supenaam. The fare has now dropped from $1200 to $1100.
However this new fare is still considered high compared with the cost of gasoline which is at $555.00 per gallon. The fare was once $1,000 when gasoline was selling at $900 plus per gallon.
Can the minister please try to negotiate with the speed boat association to get this fare back to $1,000, so that the commuters can benefit from cheap fuel price? D. Noble
