Tourism Minister Patrice Minors is to meet with the Transport Ministry over on-going concerns about buses.The move comes after it was revealed this week that seats would be left for locals when buses leaves Dockyard when cruise ships are berthed.Today Ms Minors released a statement which said: “One of the great things that Bermuda prides itself on as a destination is its reliable and efficient public transportation system. Our buses and ferries are heavily relied on by our residents and visitors alike and it’s regrettable when these services are hindered from operating effectively.“I think it is critical to understand that we have made some significant strides in recent months and have seen some positive signs with regard to tourism. Simply put, our tourism industry is vital to Bermuda’s economy. And now, more than any other time on our history, we must all collectively come together to ensure its success.“That said, I am meeting with representatives from the Transport Ministry to discuss what can be done to address any concerns, particularly as it relates to our bus system. It is our hope that some common ground solutions can be reached as swiftly as possible to minimize any further inconvenience for our residents and visitors.”
