Passengers stranded, some PSVs off the road

Scores of commuters have been left stranded because some route taxi and minibus operators have parked their vehicles.

One of the concerns stems from the issue of uniforms which have been mandated by the Transport Authority.

Another bone of contention is a clause in the law which states if they have two traffic convictions and suspended, they can’t work for anyone for six months. They believe this is too harsh and they are being reported for “small things”.

Some of the drivers and conductors have gathered at Brandons, St Michael, and also feel they are not being well-represented by the two umbrella bodies Association of Public Transport Operators and the Alliance Owners of Public Transport. (Nation News)
