Ministry: 20 Bus Runs Cancelled On Monday
[Updated] The cancellation of bus runs continue, with the Ministry releasing a list of bus cancellation for this morning [Oct 23] with one bus run cancelled so far today.
Update 4.32pm: The Ministry has released the list of bus cancellations for this afternoon. There was 1 run cancelled this morning, 19 cancelled this afternoon, for a total of 20 cancelled today.
This seems odd. Half term and only one bus cancellation? You’d think with no pressure there would be more cancellations so all the buses could be worked on and be available when passenger demand picks up. So presumably no minibuses will be needed this week as no school children and all the bus routes, except one, are working?
Oh no way, those mini bus are on contract. What that contract is, is only known to the minibus company owners and the Minister. The only response the minister gave was the minibuses have been compensated for six thousand over a few weeks, and it’s expected to soar towards a million dollars as December approaches! The only contract with a better kept secret is … …….
Taxi drivers openly call it a scam.
Six thousand rides over a few weeks and no RFP. And no end date. And no mini bus outta service. The wheels on the cash register, go ….
SPEED CONTROL
WARNING.
It is about time that there were speed controls places on larger vehicles for example BUSSES ; TRUCKS; TRACTOR TRAILERS etc, or are we going to wait till one of them rolls over and kills some people. can’t blame the wet oil soaked roads for every thing.
There are roads here which is are unsafe to drive a fully loaded tractor trailer even at 35 k , at the hands of the BULLY DRIVER .
There need for posted speed control limits placed on all maxi vehicles , sooner than later.
Wonder if it’s a select few mini buses being used or is it spread equally?
Things that make you go hmmmmmmm
