Minister of Tourism, Industry and Commerce, Irfaan Ali, met with the United Minibus Union and their affiliate member, the Zone 32 Motor Bus Association, yesterday, to discuss issues relating to the issues affecting minibus operators and passengers.
According to a joint statement, throughout the period of negotiations, both parties also agreed that the situation must return to normalcy; that is, the government withdraws its action in relation to big buses plying certain routes.
The buses in the different zones are also expected to revert to their established structure until an official agreement is reached and published in relation to their fares.
An agreement was also made regarding the “32” zone’s fare structure (Georgetown to Parika), in which there has been no increase.
The new structure does not impose any new or additional hardship on the travelling population, while at the same time; it safeguards the interest of the operators.
Negotiations with all other zones are expected to continue, with zones 31 and 44 meeting next week Tuesday with the authorities. The fare structure was agreed upon by all parties and will stay in effect for a period of one year.
