More Rural Bus Routes to Come in 2025  

After months of complaints from residents of Gales Point Village, a new bus route has been launched to connect travelers from Dangriga, Gales Point, and Belize City. The Ministry of Transport says this new route shows their commitment to improving connectivity and ensuring everyone has access to public transportation. Minister of Transport Rodwell Ferguson elaborated on this commitment earlier this morning. Here’s what he had to say.

“A while ago there were some people that were stranded in Gales Point along that route. So we can see this avoiding future instances like that, right?”

 

Rodwell Ferguson, Minister of Transport

“Definitely after the gentleman told me it was going to start on Monday, I call the chairman of Gales Point excited because people are really stranded on the highway and they are more connected to Belize City. So once the bus goes in that direction, they can go to Belize City to do their shopping and come back. I also want to concentrate in January 2025, regarding Transport Planning Department. I am going to ask them to look around the entire country to see where what source can be made available once it becomes profitable to the operator.”
