Amid suggestions that state-run buses could help to fill a transportation gap here, Minister of Public Works, Juan Edghill says there are no such discussions occurring in government.
Edghill when contacted by Stabroek News for a comment, noted that due to the private ownership of minibus and water taxi operations there has been no discussion on whether the government would have any input in public transportation.
“That is the current public transportation policy, the private sector operates the water taxis, the minibuses, they regulate to ensure compliance with transportation standards, so in terms of the government buying buses and owning buses or operating routes, there has been no discussions on that at any particular time since it is private sector driven”, he said.
