By BBN Staff: The Department of Transport issued a reminder/warning bus operators today for them to be mindful of the number of people allowed on busses.

The department said that seating in vehicles for the purpose of public and private transportation is limited to 75 percent of the vehicle’s seating capacity, in accordance with Statutory Instrument No. 9 of 2021

“Any bus operator who fails to comply with the regulation will be subject to disciplinary proceedings,” the Transport Department said.
