Gales Point Bus Runs Being Sorted Out

Gales Point now enjoys a new preschool, an upgraded primary school, and a fully paved Coastal Plains Highway for easy access. However, for the past few weeks, villagers have had to rely on others with vehicles for rides since the bus service stopped. Area Representative for Belize Rural Central, Dolores Balderamos-Garcia, assures that this issue is being urgently addressed.

“I don’t have all the details, but I do know that with the completion of the Coastal Plain Highway, the village is more accessible and it will be more accessible for people to go out to Stann Creek, to Dangriga and also to Belize City much easier. I don’t know what has actually happened, but a bus run did start. So I’m going to be looking into the continuation of it for the good of the people, you know. But, but please, thank you for the reminder on that one.”

“Can you say how soon because they’ve expressed a little bit of impatience, in fact, that every week, students have to come and go from Dangriga.”

“I have scheduled a meeting with Minister Zabaneh, the new Minister of Transport, and I will be meeting with him and top on the agenda will be a discussion of this. So I think within the next two weeks we should sort it out.”
