Update on Buses

The Minister of Tourism and Transport, the Hon. Zane De Silva today stated, “I reiterate the comments made a few minutes ago by the Minister of National Security, the Hon. Wayne Caines, “The following bus routes will operate from 1 pm today: 2, 3, 4 (St. John's Road only) 5, 7, 8, 9, 10 and 11.

“The Department of Public Transportation is working closely with emergency responders clearing the roads which will allow us to safely put more buses on the road. Our priority is and always will be the safety of passengers and staff. There are still trees and branches that overhang onto roads, poles that are being secured and utility lines that are loose and low hanging. As these are fixed we will add more bus routes. We will keep the public informed over the weekend and into Monday.

“I ask for continued patience as we work to ensure a safe public transportation system.”
