New Trial Bus Route To Include Gates Fort
The Department of Public Transportation announced a “new trial bus route that will include Gates Fort at the easternmost tip of the island, along Cut Road, overlooking the entrance to St. George’s Harbour.”
A Government spokesperson said, “The trial will be an addition to an existing route and will operate every weekday from Monday, February 10, 2025, to Friday, February 28, 2025. The Route 6 bus, which departs from St. Davids at 1:40 p.m., will extend its journey along Cut Road to Gates Fort before arriving at the St. George’s depot at approximately 2:20 p.m.
“Passengers boarding the bus between Gate’s Fort and the St. George’s depot will have to disembark and transfer to one of the following buses to continue their journey: Route 11 Hamilton bus at 2:30 pm or 2:45 pm, or the Route 10 Hamilton bus at 3:15 pm.”
Minister of Transport, Wayne Furbert explained, “This three-week trial, initiated in response to valuable feedback from the community, aims to assess the demand and viability of this new route. The trial period will be closely monitored, and based on ridership and overall viability, the new route may be added permanently to the regular schedule.”
A Government spokesperson added, “For more information, please contact the Department of Public Transportation at 292-3851.”
Electioneering. It will be temporary until after the election. This is the PLP breaking the election rules again which is UNFAIR.
This is nothing new. Buses went down Cut before That is how we went to school. Stop pretending it is new
Great , does this mean that they new bus route schedule has been agreed to by the ministry , drivers and unions and is ready to roll out? What are we on now, year 18 now of waiting for this new schedule to be released!
PLP are desperate!!!
Aren’t buses larger than they were when they used to go down there many years ago? With the increasing size of cars on the roads, how much space would one have to pass? My suggestion would have public transportation mini buses to do those short and narrow routes.
plp is desperate , never seen so much effort to buy a vote. St.george has always been neglected
Tried /trying to take over the Corporation
Closed Police Station
Shut down the Volunteer Fire Brigade
2 Bridges in deplorable condition
No cruise ships
the 2 so called mp’s sit on the back bench and do nothing
Time To Go
Time To Go
You think St. George’s has been neglected, St. David’s has been completely ignored and a black marker has been used to cover us up. Only way to get us back on map is to Vote for new representative and put a big sign up..
St. David’s is very much back and very well Represented!!!!
On Feb 18, vote PLP to END THE OBAUBPERS.
