Buses Are Running Today As Normal
There has been no official statement issued, however it appears that the bus service is running as normal today [Sept 22]. We just came back from the Bus Depot on Palmetto Road, saw buses leaving, and confirmed with a few of the bus drivers that the service was back up. The drivers informed us that buses will be out in all routes islandwide.
Yesterday morning, bus drivers returned to the Bus Terminal and ended service, with reports indicating that several buses had been slightly damaged by overhanging trees and vegetation, that at least one bus had a near-miss from a falling pole. Drivers said that the roads were generally not yet in a condition to safely drive Bermuda’s big buses, still containing too much debris from the strike the island took from Hurricane Igor this past weekend. Service was suspended for the day, leaving many commuters without transportation.
Premier Dr Ewart Brown released a strongly worded statement last night calling the decision last by bus drivers “amazingly insensitive”, “un-Bermudian” and said it “lacks compassion and defies rational explanation.” Bernews understands that some bus drivers are exceptionally displeased by his comments.
Get over it you lazy drivers and 2 hour lunch breakers. You’re there for a service to the taxpayers and general public. Just like the taxi drivers whining like babies. It’s probably that they can’t do 60 mile an hour and run through red lights like they usually do that they’re all upset. They should be taking their time anyway after a storm. Crack dat wip…Go Ewart…Go Ewart!
We did get over it with the day off lol lol
