Two hundred and thirty minibus drivers and conductors from the routes plied in Regions 3, 4, 5, 6 & 7 communities along with Region 3 taxi drivers have benefitted from training which focussed on the areas of hospitality, first aid, tyre & fire safety, life & vehicle insurance, and defensive driving.
The training which took place from July to August, was initiated by the Department of Consumer Affairs of the Ministry of Business in collaboration with the Guyana Police Force, the Guyana National Road Safety Council, and the United Minibus Union.
According to a Ministry of Business release, the objective of the exercise was to bolster the high quality of service which is expected to be provided by minibus operators and more so public transportation providers as outlined in the Minibus Code of Conduct, which was launched by the Ministry in February of this year.
