The woes on the Lady Northcote
Dear Editor,
As a concerned resident who travels on the Lady Northcote from Northwest to Georgetown, I would like to say that I am surprised at the unmannerly behavior of the staff. A clear case was recorded on Monday, September 24, 2018. I think that the Amerindians have been treated with disrespect.
My second point is the overcrowding of the boat. The boat is being overloaded with passengers and cargo, making many passengers uncomfortable.
What I want the public to know is that persons are paying their fee to have a comfortable ride, and still have to pay the same number even in an overcrowded boat. I really think that the number of passengers should be limited to a number that the boat can hold.
I am asking for an intervention from the media and suggest that something be done urgently to ensure passengers are comfortable.
