Transport Minister Daryl Vaz reports no issue on day 2 of testing of new school buses

Minister Daryl Vaz says there was no issue during yesterday’s testing of the recently acquired school buses on routes across the island.

Yesterday marked day two of the testing process, where the buses were driven along 30 routes in three parishes.

30 other routes were tested on Monday but that process did not go without challenge. Mr. Vaz had reported two incidents of blown out tyres, and one or two minor road mishaps. He pledged to have the issues addressed.

In an update, the Transport Minister called yesterday’s testing process a success.

He also noted that all new tyres for the 110 school buses arrived on the island yesterday.

On Monday, Mr. Vaz noted that the buses were being tested with the original tyres, and not the ones for use when the Rural School Bus System rolls out for the new academic year in September.

The testing process has been halted for today’s independence celebration, and will continue tomorrow and Friday.
