ROUTE TAXI DRIVERS with multiple convictions for reckless driving will not be allowed to participate in the Transport Authority Service Integrated Project (TASI).

In fact, Minister of Transport Michael Lashley suggested they could face lawsuits if they involved drivers with traffic convictions in the project in which privately-owned public service vehicles would be deployed on routes to augment the bus service provided by the state-owned Transport Board.

He made the announcement as he addressed residents of St John on Sunday evening at St Margaret’s Community Centre during the final community meeting to bring residents up to date on the first project of this kind. (MB)
