Westline Bus Company posted to Facebook, their buses saying “Keeping up with the mandated upgrade.” That post was shared by Minister of Transport, Rodwell Ferguson.

“It’s not that we want to exert pressure, we just want to give the commuters a better riding quality.  This is what Westline is coming with, great.  We are not asking for brand new buses if you cannot afford it,” Ferguson posted to Facebook.

“Belizean people don’t like change but when it comes they embrace it. I will remain consistent, the transformation now begins to the benefit of the commuters. The Belize City bus terminal is under complete overhaul,” Ferguson added on another Facebook post.

In 2022, Ferguson noted on social media that the change for the better must come with bus upgrades.

In addition, he stated, “I want to make it clear I have no investment or ownership in Floralia, you can check the company registry for silent or unsilent partners you will not find my name or any persons related to me. As the Minister responsible I remain resolute that change must come.”
