Mar 22, 2019 News

The police have awakened to the lawlessness involving the operation of minibuses.
Earlier this month, 81 bus operators on the Route 40 to 48 areas participated in a workshop on appearance and conduct.
This came after the Ministry of Business and the United Mini-bus Union (UMU), on January 4, 2019 approved the long-awaited Code of Conduct for Minibus Operators.
On March 7, the police force’s Brickdam Traffic Department concluded a three-day lecture session on appearance and conduct of mini-bus operators.
The lectures were conducted by Assistant Superintendent, Forbes Browne; Inspector Gavin Boyce and Sergeant Wickham, along with other ranks of the department.
Among the topics raised were overloading; loud and degrading music; driving under the influence of alcohol; speed limits; racing on the roadways and the courtesy by drivers and conductors to passengers.
The other areas also include personal hygiene; solicitation of passengers; maintenance and cleanliness of the vehicles; clothing; documentation and assistance for the elderly and the differently-abled.
