Maxi Association upset with Gov’t’s plan to allow permanent public access to the PBR

President of the Route 2 Maxi Taxi Association, Linus Phillips, is slamming the government’s proposal to allow the public access to the Priority Bus Route permanently.

Cabinet has approved the extension of the three-month trial of public use of the PBR by an additional three-month period ending on December 31. Works and Transport Minister Jack Warner yesterday told of the possibility of the PBR being accessible permanently to the public.

Phillips however, is condemning this move because he says there has been no consultation with maxi-taxi operators which was suppose to take place after the initial trial.
