Where is the rural bus system?

Dear Editor,

We are yet to see a government-run transport system for rural areas. The minister, Omar Davies, had stated that the previous Administration had left a policy concerning this matter but it would be revisited and revised.

This is why this country cannot progress at a faster rate. As one party leaves office, the incoming party puts their policies on hold. It has been months now and the minister is yet to make a further statement on the matter.

As we wait to see what will come of this 'new policy', rural passengers, especially the elderly and children, continue to face high and unfair fares. Something urgently needs to be done.
