Opposition lambastes Gov’t over what it says is failure to craft legislation to regulate operations of ride-share companies

The Opposition has lambasted the Government over what it says is its failure to craft legislation to regulate the operations of ride-share companies.

The criticism from Spokesperson on Information Nekeisha Burchell follows several incidents involving ride-share drivers.

On May 17, University student Anisa Dilworth’s skeletal remains were found on a beach in St. Catherine, after she went missing on May 6.

An inDrive driver has been arrested in relation to her death.

In May 2024, primary school teacher Danielle Anglin went missing after booking with a ride-share company.

Her skeletal remains were found in neighbouring Clarendon, weeks later, in June.

Following that incident, the Government sought to regulate the operations of ride-share companies and recommended a one-year ban.

However, many companies continue to operate.

Speaking during the People’s National Party’s Youth Rally in Westmoreland on Saturday, Ms. Burchell renewed the call for regulations regarding ride-share companies.
