Minister of Transport to Meet with Bus Operators

Despite reports of public bus upgrades over the past few years, Belize still hasn’t achieved a truly modernized transport system. Bus operators often resisted changes under the former minister, citing feasibility concerns. However, the new Minister of Transport, Doctor Louis Zabaneh, is confident that he will gain support from many bus operators.

“I will be meeting early next month with all bus operators. I know them, many of them fairly well because of my own experience in the bus sector back a couple decades ago. But many of them are still in the business. I know we have a number of good people in the sector and many of them are very concerned with the fact that a number of other operators are not complying with he rules and regulations so the entire sector gets a bad name. I know I will be receiving support from many of the bus operators who understand their responsibilities and who also will be there to support us when we take the measures necessary for the safety of our people.”
