Corporate interest in city bus sheds growing, says developer

Businesses are becoming more responsive to the initiative to erect bus sheds in the city, according to Kwame Mentore, Director of Pyramid Sheds.

Last year, Mentore had hoped to add 50 bus sheds and bins to the city before Guyana’s 50th independence anniversary but businesses did not respond favourably.

However, Mentore recently told Stabroek News that businesses are now responding to his proposal and are indicating their willingness to get on board with the project. He stated that due to budget restrictions, many businesses were not able to make an immediate decision.

He said when companies sign on to the project, they are not only getting advertisements but also maintenance. He explained that on a daily basis they visit the shed and make assessments to ensure there is limited or no vandalism.
