Updated: No Buses Cancelled This Morning
[Updated: There were actually no cancellations this morning. This was apparently a communication error, and following it, it was realized that there were sufficient numbers of buses to service all routes.
The Ministry said there are 34 buses out of service, however there are sufficient buses in service to complete all scheduled routes and apologizes for the error.]
The Department of Public Transportation said they regret to advise that there are a number of bus trips cancelled this morning [June 15], and provided a list of eighteen routes that are cancelled.
There were also bus cancellations last week, with the Department of Public Transportation saying it was due to “recent maintenance issues.”

They can’t pay overtime to the mechanics but they pay for bus drivers to sit around playing cards all day because they have no bus to drive.
Government.
Lets put this whole disaster out to bid for private enterprise to sort out.
Bus drivers garage workers and DPT support staff PLEASE PAY ATTENTION ….you are driving the nails into your own coffin when you dont drive a bus because of poor management and poor standards of operating upper management doesnt care and your union bosses don’t care about you because if everyone involved really cared you would take the people in charge from the head of the DPT right up to the premier to task for the decades of deficiency that will ultimately cause you your jobs and lead to privatization ……… there is a group of rich people applauding these type of colossal screw ups and licking their lips chomping at the bit to get richer from being HANDED the responsibility of providing island wide public transportation that will still probably receive a yearly cash imput from the taxpayers coffers under the name of subsidizing the NOW PRIVATIZED BUS SERVICE and the OBA will tell you that they have to give them the money or seniors and school children will have pay if they dont give the rich owners of the company they gave the responsibility of providing transportation taxpays morey to run the company

Its enough minibuses in Dockyard, they can sort it out! Stop sending the buses up Dockyard for the Tourists and keep them on the road for the locals that pay the taxes for it! The cruise ships will have to use the minibuses and taxis!
I need the public bus to get to work, please!
I went up the bus garage two weeks ago and personally it looks like a junkyard for pink n blue buses…more buses are broken than working!
Sounds like Ministry has communications problem!
