MINISTER OF TRANSPORT AND WORKS Michael Lashley has urged public service vehicle (PSV) operators to put measures in place to lure potential drivers, rather than rely on Government to do the job for them.
“It is really not up to the Government to make PSV operations attractive, but rather for the owner to make incentives and packaging appealing for his driver,” he said.
Lashley was responding to comments from both president of the Alliance of Owners of Public Transport (AOPT), Roy Raphael, and his deputy Pastor Charles Layne, for Government’s assistance in their quest to employ new drivers.
They were speaking at the public discussion on transport held at the Insurance Corporation of Barbados Limited last Thursday. (RA)
