Some operators of public service vehicles (PSVs) have placed a ban on transporting schoolchildren in uniform, in an attempt to nip bad behaviour and vandalism in the bud. But they have been warned this is against the law.
It comes in the wake of last week’s cutlass attack on a conductor by three students of Fredrick Smith Secondary.
“I don’t deal with them period. They are too unruly for me and I can’t cope with their behaviour. They do not have any respect for anybody and when the schoolboys cut up the conductor proves it,” minibus conductor Peter Morris told the MIDWEEK NATION in The City’s Lower Green Terminal yesterday.
“They carry school some of everything – drugs, knives and even guns. So to prevent getting in anything with them, I leave them at the bus stop. Bus fare is free on Transport Board bus.” (SB)
