“DPT will be running a Sunday (holiday) schedule over Cup Match. However, there will be additional buses in place to cover Cup Match itself as well as a shuttle to Horseshoe beach for the Cruise ships and 8 sightseeing tours on Thursday. There will also be additional supervisors to ensure all runs smoothly. Maintenance will have on call staff to deal with issues of a mechanical nature,” a spokesperson said.
That’s IF the few ferries that are running don’t break down… Cus the mechanics will be at the game..
That needs to happen . much safer and less congested than the roads.
Could we just stop complaining cause in most countries they dont give a crap how u get to n from during a holiday. In Bermuda we r just too spoiled n ungreatful. Thank u PTB for your efforts during the Cupmatch holiday.
Cup Match special service….llooking for votes?
Does EVERYTHING have to be political?
I see they can add the extra ferries for the holiday and pay out the overtime for this service but you can’t keep the daily run to hamilton and pay regular pay.
Way to go on cost cutting measures PLP!!
Should work just fine provided there are no emergency biu meetings to attend
. If so the Cup Match boat will run. Service for visitors does not matter.
Why do they do this for cup match but not for tourists??
