Just think if we did not have that near $600,000 per day PLP caused debt service cost we could be buying at least 8 new buses a week.

Its Said :
Locals can expect the first of eight new buses to be on the road by the end of the year, the Transport Minister said.

But its NOT Said which year.
Smoke generated and the crowd is quite…..
I bet , they will NOT Be on the road by end of this year………

Right now it’s just empty words here. What are Roban’s opinions of the schedule and efficiency?

“We are investing in a digital ticketing system that tracks passengers so we can get a better handle on the optimisation”

They put out an RFP for digital ticketing for the ferries on extremely short notice. Then they pulled it hours after the submission deadline.

Now they’re “investing” in a system themselves.

These people are so full of diesel.

The buses won’t be here till end of year; (what happens in the interim)

Smoke, too wide mirrors, and…

The PLP are full of tails with no dogs.

LOL….I was doing the same when I read this then I get to the comments and see i’m not alone.

Everything Roban has said has been said before many years ago. The change to a digital ticketing/tracking system was talked about more than 10 years ago, it never happened just like the schedule. The divers, the union and the ministry are not serious about public transportation in Bermuda.

Remember when we used to get 20 new buses in one shipment and this was every few years. Buses were clean and ran on time. It was a pleasure to ride the bus back in the day (and without air conditioning).
