Bus operators need commuters just as much as the commuters need them

Feb 28, 2019 Features / Columnists, Letters

DEAR EDITOR,
The very essential, much touted and long awaited Mini Bus Code of Conduct has finally become a reality. The travelling public which comprises mainly the working class and school children, who can ill afford any other means of transportation and who regularly use these buses, are eagerly waiting to see if the code is going to serve the purpose for which it was intended.
The hooliganism, bullyism, and downright lawlessness which were allowed to become so entrenched must come to an end. It can only happen with the support of the Mini Bus Union, the owners, the drivers, the conductors, the commuters, and of course, the Police.
The Court would also have an important role to play, for this Code of Conduct to bring the much needed relief from this aggressive and hostile behaviour pattern displayed by many drivers and conductors.
Yes, there are some buses that both drivers and conductors are very polite, and they also adhere to the Laws as it relates to the Motor Vehicle and Road Traffic Act, Chapter 51:02.
Many or most of them need to understand that they need the commuters just as much as the commuters need them.
