Georgetown: Following the recent move by Government to provide free transportation with it's big buses in an effort to break the strike by minibus operators, they are not relenting. Some of the operators vow to continue the strike to see how efficiently Government's move can be. With only a few big buses it will be almost impossible to meet all the passengers traveling on a daily basis. The operators are demanding from $20 to $60 dollars increase for different routes. The strike resulted from a sudden rise in fuel and cost of maintenance supplies including oil, filter and other fluids. If a compromised is not reached soon then passengers across the country are in for tough times.
