		<description><![CDATA[This problem has been going on for at least the last 5 years, every year the same issues come up. Is it that HARD to see that someone or a few people at PTB are incompetent and need to be removed asap. All of a sudden within 5 days of the issue becoming public a miracle happens, 10 plus buses are fixed. I smell a Rat!

The previous government talked about privatization because of s##t like this. I bet not one person on management is disciplined for there under performance and that needs to stop. 

Bermuda has varies private businesses with vehicle fleets and they have no issues keeping them running everyday all day because in the private sector your held to your task, if you cant handle it your got to go. Simple. Not government though, just show up and you get paid, performance doesn&#039;t matter, rain, blow or shine, work or not they still get paid, AND IT&#039;S NOT RIGHT. 

PLP need to change that broken system the government operates on.
 THE SYSTEM IS BROKEN, IT IS NOT SUSTAINABLE.  

Privatization would save the tax payers money and the people will get a better service out of it. WIN, WIN FOR ALL!!!!!]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[72-58 = 14....so 14 buses were fixed in 5 days !!!

I think if the mechanics and whole service can do this as part of their normal course then we are in good hands.

Keep it up and we will have a well maintained fleet in no time.

Pride in putting those buses on the road, communication of a job well done and a passion for what you do is important.

Keep it up team !]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Get real! It&#039;s been out of control for years and neither party has done anything to fix it. Both parties are to blame so don&#039;t make it just a PLP thing. The problem with Bermuda&#039;s government is too many ministers just trying to collect a paycheck and not doing their job. The ministers always use the excuse that it&#039;s not their job it&#039;s the departments. A CEO of a company is expected to keep the managers of the company&#039;s departments in check and let them go if they are not working to their utmost. These ministers are our CEOs and we are the shareholders who should expect the ministers to either get it together or step down regardless of what government party is in and what we think of them. The reason it keeps going this way is that ministers are not held accountable so in the end it&#039;s us the shareholder&#039;s faults.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Ok first
1.WHY are the buses out of service and WHY can&#039;t they be fixed?
Either fix them or trash them but don&#039;t say more than half island fleet of buses not running that makes no sense
Who is working on these buses? One person? Well get more people and parts and just fix them.
2. What have we done all summer...now school starts and we got not enough buses again
Someone asleep at the wheel!!!!
3. 1.2m for 4?
For the love of God just order some buses...I figure 16 will do for now...5m...don&#039;t even tell me no one can find that...]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Here&#039;s the issue. There is an incentive to let the buses become unusable so that the mechanics can then work overtime to fix what they should have done to get it back in service. See the problem? Don&#039;t tell me that is not the case because I can guarantee it is because no one is accountable and if anyone tries to stop it the BIU will get involved.

On another subject it took a couple of days to fix the Oleander. Lucky it didn&#039;t break down in Bermuda or it would have taken weeks or months to fix.]]></description>
