Dear Editor,
I wish to give my advice to the gentlemen of the Guyana Minibus Association on their utterances about the increase in minibus fares.
The Laws of Guyana, Chapter 51:02, Motor Vehicles and Road Traffic Act, Part VIIII, Section 74 states as follows:
“The Minister may, if he deems it necessary or desirable in the public interest so to do, fix the minimum or maximum fares that may be charged by any person operating a motor bus in any area or route to which section 65 (1) [requirement to have a road service licence] applies or along any specified part of a route within that area and shall cause notice thereof to be sent to the Prescribed Authority”
