THE PRESIDENT SHOULD BRING IN THAT LAW, OF BUYING TICKET FOR THE BUS.
THE PEOPLE COULD BUY, FROM THE POST OFFICE AND THE
OTHER BUSES SHOULD DO THE SAME, EVERY ROUT SHOULD HAVE A
PLACE WHERE THE PEOPLE COULD BUY THE TICKET, NO MORE PAYING
WITH MONEY ON THE BUS,

avinash says:
“police need to be more on the road patroling .At each corner there should be an officer.”

I wondering which corner you are posting from. Do the maths, # of corners times # of police = revenue doesn’t have.

avinash, Guyana is 83 thousand sq miles, and has under 1 million people, and if you should put a police officer “at each corner” as you suggested, Guyana will have to pay the police on the same scale as those in developed countries, then everyone will be a police on the corner.

The governments of the Caribbean must put their heads together and come up with a practicable plan to reduce the criminal activities which are destroying our societies . the police must also gain the confidence of the law-abiding citizens and corrupt policemen/women must be removed from the police forces/departments and where possible , charged and taken before the courts . Let justice be done , though the heavens may fall .

DID NO ONE SEE THIS PERSON WHO BOLDLY ROB AND SHOT THIS CONDUCTOR. PEOPLE SHOULD HAVE A HOT LINE NUMBER WHICH THE POLICE SHOULD SETT UP WHERE THEY CAN CALL TO MAKE ANONYMOUS COMPLAINTS. I HOPE LALBACHAN FEELS BETTER SOON AND JUSTICE BE SERVED.

I think that may be a good idea if the GPF wasn’t so short staffed already. A rotation of plain-clothes police who get into random buses on assigned routes. This may help to deter some crime on and off the buses as the criminals will not know who is in which bus. They just might think twice before commiting the crime.

A suggestion, the mini buses need to install a drop box where the driver and conductor has no key. The driver and conductor should only have enough money to dispense change up to a certain amount, this MIGHT help to prevent this lawlessness.

Hope there was enough witnesses to ID the bastard.
Seems like everybody carrying a gun now .

Animals like that should not be tried when caught , just throw them in jail and throw away the key !

These conductors should start putting away their cash when it starts to get bulky in their pockets , only keep a small portion on them for change.

People in buses are being robbed on that volatile stretch of road for too long and the police seems oblivious. At least pretend that you are doing something and maybe these miscreants will stop their depredations. Like gt_hopeful said, have plain clothe police go ramdomly in bosses and have uniformed police take desultory rides also. This must stop and it must stop now.

we need some undercover police at the bus park and riding on some of these buses, thats just my thinking as an ordinary citizen. Can’t somebody in the police department come up with some sort of a plan to combat this new wave of robberies on mini buses, come on!
