“On Wednesday, the Minister of Transport, the Hon. Wayne Furbert JP, MP, invited the BTOA Executive to meet on Friday, June 7, as he wishes to discuss the concerns raised by the BTOA, while ensuring that the Government solves the problem of the transportation gaps experienced by our residents and visitors. It is the desire of the Minister to discuss these items in a collaborative fashion and not through the media.
“Collaboration is key to making transportation work better and the Minister looks forward to continued dialogue with the BTOA Executive as the Government works to improve transportation in Bermuda and reduce the complaints from our residents and visitors.”
