Bus Drivers: What 25 Cents Could Do For Me?
NASSAU, BAHAMAS – Some jitney drivers were upset Wednesday after receiving just a 25-cents increase on bus fares.
NASSAU, BAHAMAS – Some jitney drivers were upset Wednesday after receiving just a 25-cents increase on bus fares.
This is the first increase in bus fares in 16 years.
The 25-cent increase will not be straight across the board as it will only impact adult passengers. Their fare will now be $1.50.
Fares for seniors and school students will remain the same.
Understanding the need for the increase this passenger says it’s only fare.
While some might consider this a step in the right direction this jitney driver says otherwise…
The average cost of gas per gallon in New Providence is $5.90.
General Secretary for Bahamas United Bus Drivers Union Corvel Colebrooke says it’s not enough to sustain them.
