While the draft Code of Conduct for minibus operators is still being finalised, some Route 42 drivers have already started wearing uniforms and adhering to other provisions as they are aiming to be the pioneers of a new culture for public transportation.

Ministry of Business Public Relations Officer, Cordell McClure recently told Stabroek News that work was still being done on the code, with the aim of possible implementation next month.

However, led yesterday by the United Minibus Union (UMU) head Eon Andrews, six minibus drivers donned shirts and matching caps at the Route 42 (Georgetown to Timehri) bus park, where they expressed their desire to begin the implementation of the code of conduct.
