I guess they need the buses to service the 2 cruise ships
Why aren’t they giving REASONS for the bus cancellations?
The reason is always the same every year: the bus drivers co-ordinate their “sick” days to force the Department to pay them maximum overtime. Every year for a few weeks, the Department calls their bluff and cancels routes instead of paying more overtime.
Eventually, summer tourists come, public pressure mounts, and the Department caves in.
Year after year, this collusion scam continues. Millions of tax dollars enrich a few people. Everyone shrugs their shoulders. The “Bermudian Way”.
Why is it always the peek times? What about people who need to get to work? Seniors that need to get to appointments? School children that need to catch these buses? Always the last minute-smdh! These people NEED to do better!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1
So Correct Kathy why have we not had an explanation this is beyond ridiculous
The bus cancilations are calculated to inconvenience most people and school children. This creates the greatest impact. This is what the powers that be in the bus department want.
