The Cricket Carnival that took to the streets of Georgetown yesterday created confusion for commuters, leaving hundreds of workers stranded for transportation, which in turn led to price gouging as transportation service providers sought to capitalize on the chaos in the wake of the disorganized parade.
The parade started from Main Street, on to Church Street and concluded on Irving Street at the Kitty roundabout.
While many saw the parade as a welcome celebratory event following the Guyana Amazon Warriors’ massive win at the CPLT20, many streets around Georgetown were blocked and mini-buses were unable to get to key pick up and drop off points. The confusion was further exacerbated as traffic ranks from the Guyana Police Force haphazardly and randomly placed cones on streets that diverted traffic, forcing vehicles to divert to get to their destinations.
